How this calculation works

Converting between annual salary and hourly wage is the foundation of understanding your pay. The standard US work year contains 2,080 hours (52 weeks × 40 hours), so an annual salary divided by 2,080 yields your effective hourly rate.

Keep in mind that "salaried" and "exempt from overtime" are not the same thing. Under the FLSA rule restored May 15, 2026, the federal salary threshold for most white-collar exemptions is $684 per week ($35,568 per year). If your weekly salary falls below that floor, you are generally non-exempt and entitled to 1.5× overtime — regardless of your job title.

Frequently Asked Questions

The FLSA standard is 2,080 hours — 52 weeks × 40 hours per week. This calculator uses 2,080 by default, but you can adjust weeks and weekly hours for part-time or alternate schedules.
Does converting salary to hourly affect overtime rights?
Yes. Under the FLSA rule restored May 15, 2026, most employees earning under $684/week ($35,568/year) are non-exempt and entitled to overtime regardless of salary label. Use our FLSA Eligibility Checker to confirm.
