1. What is a Salary Calculator (Hourly to Yearly)?

Definition: This calculator converts hourly wage information into an estimated annual salary.

Purpose: It helps employees and employers understand the yearly equivalent of hourly pay for budgeting, job offers, and financial planning.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( S \) — Yearly salary (USD)
• \( H \) — Hours worked per week (h)
• \( R \) — Hourly rate (USD/h)
• \( 2080 \) — Standard work hours per year (40h/week × 52 weeks)

Explanation: The weekly hours are multiplied by the hourly rate to get weekly pay, then multiplied by 52 weeks for annual pay.

3. Importance of Salary Conversion

Details: Understanding yearly salary equivalents helps with comparing job offers, budgeting, and financial planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your typical weekly hours and hourly rate. The calculator assumes full-time work (2080 hours/year).

Q3: Does this include vacation time?

Q4: How accurate is this for part-time work?
