How to calculate hourly rate from annual salary?
First, take the number of hours you work every week and double it by the total number of weeks you work in a year, which is usually 52 or 50. Next, divide this amount by your yearly pay. For example, if you work 40 hours a week for a year and receive a salary of $40,000, your hourly rate would be $40,000/(40 × 52) = $19.23.
Hourly = Salary per year / (Hours per week × Weeks per year)
Example computation of an hourly rate
Assume you work a 40-hour work week for 52 paid weeks a year, earning $50,000. You would calculate the following to determine your hourly rate:
[50000 / (40 × 52)] = $24.04/h
With a $50,000 yearly wage, your hourly rate comes out to be $24.04.
