Hourly to Salary Converter
Convert an hourly rate into weekly, monthly and annual salary equivalents.
Comparing an hourly contract against a salaried offer is a units problem disguised as a career decision. $40/hour sounds comparable to an $80k salary — and at 40 hours for 50 weeks it is almost exactly that — but change the assumptions (unpaid holidays, 45-hour weeks, gaps between contracts) and the equivalence shifts by thousands.
This converter turns any hourly rate into its weekly, monthly and annual equivalents, with both hours-per-week and working-weeks-per-year adjustable. Freelancers can model unbillable time by lowering the weeks; overtime workers can raise the hours and see the annualized difference instantly.
