Converting a salary to an hourly rate requires two pieces of information: the total compensation over a defined period, and the total number of hours worked during that same period. Standard formula: Hourly Rate = Annual Salary / (Hours Per Week x Weeks Per Year) Using the standard full-time assumption of 40 hrs/week x 52 weeks = 2,080 hours: Hourly Rate = Annual Salary / 2,080 For a monthly salary: Hourly Rate = (Monthly Salary x 12) / (Hours Per Week x 52) For a weekly salary: Hourly Rate = Weekly Salary / Hours Per Week For a biweekly salary: Hourly Rate = Biweekly Salary / (Hours Per Week x 2) Reverse calculation (Hourly to Annual): Annual Salary = Hourly Rate x Hours Per Week x Weeks Per Year
Global average hourly wages by sector (USD, sourced from BLS, Mercer, ILO, and SHRM): - Technology (Software Dev): $45.67 - $69.71/hr - Healthcare (RN/Allied): $34.62 - $43.27/hr - Finance & Accounting: $31.25 - $52.88/hr - HR & People Operations: $27.88 - $43.27/hr - Sales (Account Executive): $28.85 - $48.08/hr - Legal & Compliance: $38.46 - $62.50/hr - Education & Training: $20.19 - $32.69/hr
Divide your annual salary by the total number of working hours in the year. The standard calculation uses 2,080 hours (40 hours per week multiplied by 52 weeks). For example, a $52,000 annual salary equals $25.00 per hour.
