How to convert hourly pay to a salary

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work each week and by the weeks you work each year. At $25 an hour for 40 hours and 52 weeks, that is $52,000 a year, or about $4,333 a month before tax. A quick shortcut: multiply the hourly rate by 2,080 (40 hours times 52 weeks).

Gross pay is not take-home pay

Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and often state tax come out of each paycheck. The calculator shows the amount left after those taxes, per year, month, pay period and hour. A $25 hourly wage in Texas leaves roughly $43,962 a year; in California it leaves about $42,193.

Unpaid time off and part-time work

If you take unpaid leave, lower the weeks per year. If you work part-time, lower the hours per week. The tax estimate follows automatically because it is based on your actual yearly income.
