How to convert salary to hourly
Hourly wage = Annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). With a standard 40-hour week and 52 paid weeks, that's salary ÷ 2,080. A $60,000 salary is about $28.85 an hour.
To go the other way, multiply: Annual salary = Hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year.
Quick mental shortcut
Halve the salary and drop the thousands: $60,000 → about $30/hour. It slightly overestimates (it assumes 2,000 hours) but it's close enough for a quick comparison.
Paid vs unpaid weeks
Salaried employees are usually paid for all 52 weeks, including holidays. If you're paid hourly with unpaid time off, set weeks per year to the number you actually work.
