How to Convert Hourly to Salary
Hourly rate times 2,080 is the shortcut, but overtime, unpaid leave, PTO and benefits change actual annual pay. Compare offers using expected hours, overtime and benefits as total compensation, not just 2,080.
Base conversion
40 hours/week times 52 weeks = 2,080 hours.
For part-time, use actual weekly hours times 52.
With overtime, add the 1.5x portion separately.
What hourly pay hides
Unpaid leave or slow seasons mean less than the 2,080 estimate.
Convert health insurance, retirement match and PTO into annual value.
Commute, on-call and equipment may be out of pocket.
