Earnings breakdown
Base pay uses your regular rate and effective paid hours. Overtime is estimated from weekly OT and shown separately from base salary.

What this tool does
This converter bridges hourly wages and annualized salary using the same payroll conventions HR teams reference. Hourly mode multiplies your rate by effective paid hours per year—after you choose a 2,080, 2,088, or 2,096 baseline and subtract unpaid vacation or holidays—then shows daily through annual equivalents. Salary mode divides your gross annual pay by those effective hours to reveal the implied regular rate. Overtime hours are handled separately: enter average weekly OT and a multiplier so the calculator keeps base salary distinct from OT pay, which matters when you compare offers or model restaurant labor budgets that rely on blended schedules.
Who should use it
Restaurant managers negotiating raises, sous chefs moving between hourly and salaried roles, and corporate recruiters explaining total compensation will all use it. Small-business owners planning labor as a percentage of sales can translate proposed hourly increases into annual dollars instantly. Job seekers comparing a $58k salary offer with a $27/hour union scale can see which package wins once hours and unpaid weeks are honest. It is not legal advice or a payroll system, but it is an excellent companion to conversations with HR and accountants.
How to use it
Pick Hourly or Salary at the top, then fill hours per week, days worked, and the annual hour profile that matches your contract. Add unpaid days and daily hours to shave effective time off the year. For overtime, supply typical weekly OT hours and choose 1.5x or 2.0x; the table shows base annual pay, estimated OT dollars, and a combined annual figure. Switch modes to cross-check: a salary employee can verify the hourly equivalent their employer uses for partial PTO payouts, while hourly staff can see what annual base their wage implies before bonuses.
Example
Someone earns $22/hour, works 40 hours over five days, and selects the 2,080-hour profile with one unpaid week at eight hours per day. Effective hours drop slightly, so annual base lands near $44,880 before overtime. If they reliably work four OT hours weekly at time-and-a-half, the tool adds roughly $6,864 OT for a combined annual picture near $51,744—useful when comparing against a competing $50k salaried sous role that forbids OT. Pair results with the paycheck calculator when you need take-home estimates after taxes.
Hourly to salary calculator FAQ
How to calculate hourly rate from salary?
Divide annual gross salary by effective paid hours per year. Effective hours are your selected annual profile minus uncompensated hours from unpaid days times hours per day.
How do you calculate annual salary to hourly rate?
It is the same divisor: annual salary divided by effective paid hours. This tool shows the result as "Regular hourly rate" in Salary mode.
Does overtime change my equivalent hourly rate?
The regular hourly rate and base salary exclude overtime. Overtime pay is estimated separately using your weekly overtime hours and multiplier, then added in the total annual row.
