Work Hours Per Year: The 2,080-Hour Standard
Most salary-to-hourly conversions use 2,080 hours (40 hours/week x 52 weeks). If you work 50-hour weeks, your effective hourly rate is lower. For example, a $60,000 salary at 50 hours/week is $23.08/hour, not $28.85.
When Does Knowing Your Hourly Rate Matter?
- Freelance pricing — Set rates that match or exceed your salaried equivalent, plus self-employment taxes and benefits costs.
- Overtime decisions — Salaried non-exempt employees earn 1.5x their effective hourly rate for hours over 40.
- Job comparisons — When comparing a salaried position to an hourly one, converting to the same unit makes the comparison fair.
