Hourly to Salary Wage Calculator - Annual Pay

Hourly and salaried job offers are hard to compare until they sit on the same annual scale. A $25 hourly rate looks precise, but the real paycheck depends on scheduled hours, unpaid time off, overtime, and bonus or commission. The hourly to salary wage calculator converts those pieces into annual gross pay, monthly gross pay, overtime pay, and an optional after-tax estimate so a candidate or manager can compare offers without mixing weekly and yearly numbers. The core formula is annual gross = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. Overtime is added as hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours per week × weeks per year. If the overtime multiplier is left blank, 1.5 is used whenever overtime hours are entered, matching common time-and-a-half practice in the United States. An annual bonus or commission is added to gross pay. After-tax pay applies a flat tax rate you enter; it is a planning haircut, not a full federal, state, FICA, and benefit withholding model. Use the wage calculator when an hourly role is being compared with a salaried role, when overtime is a regular part of the schedule, or when a signing bonus needs to be spread across a year. A 40-hour, 52-week schedule at $20 is $41,600. The same person working 5 overtime hours at 1.5 times $25 earns $9,750 of overtime on top of $52,000 of regular pay. Weeks per year should reflect unpaid vacation or unpaid shutdowns; 50 weeks is more realistic than 52 for some hourly roles. Benefits, shift differentials, double-time holidays, union rules, and progressive tax brackets are outside this conversion. Confirm actual overtime eligibility and tax withholding with payroll or an offer letter. Treat the after-tax line as a scenario, then compare it with a paycheck estimate that uses your filing status and local tax rates.
