What This Means

How to Convert Salary to Hourly

To convert an annual salary to an hourly wage, divide the annual amount by the number of weeks you work per year (typically 52), then divide by the hours you work per week. For example, a $52,000 salary over 52 weeks at 40 hours a week equals $52,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = $25 per hour. To go the other way, multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours and then by 52.

Understanding Overtime Pay (FLSA)

  • Time and a half (1.5x) — the Fair Labor Standards Act requires most non-exempt employees to be paid 1.5x their regular rate for hours beyond 40 in a workweek
  • Exempt vs non-exempt — salaried employees in executive, professional or administrative roles may be exempt from overtime rules
  • California and some states require daily overtime (1.5x after 8 hours) and double time in some cases
  • Blended rate — overtime raises your effective hourly earnings above your base rate

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my hourly rate from my salary?

Divide your annual salary by 52 weeks, then by your weekly hours. A $60,000 salary at 40 hours a week works out to about $28.85 per hour.

Is overtime taxed differently?

No. Overtime pay is taxed as ordinary income at your marginal rate, the same as your regular earnings. It just pushes more of your income into higher tax brackets.

What is time and a half?

Time and a half means you earn 1.5x your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. Under federal law (FLSA) it applies after 40 hours in a workweek for non-exempt workers.
