Calculate Your Hourly Rate as a Salaried Employee
Understanding your effective hourly wage as a salaried employee can be incredibly insightful for career planning, salary negotiations, and personal finance.
This calculator helps you determine your hourly rate based on your annual salary, the number of weeks you work per year, and your typical daily work hours.
It's a great tool to compare your current earnings to market rates for hourly positions or simply to gain a clearer picture of your compensation.
For example, if you earn $60,000 per year and work 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year, your hourly rate is $30.00. If you work 50 hours a week for 48 weeks a year, your hourly rate is $25.00.
Calculate Hourly Rate
function calculateHourlyRate() {
var annualSalary = parseFloat(document.getElementById("annualSalary").value);
var weeksPerYear = parseFloat(document.getElementById("weeksPerYear").value);
var hoursPerDay = parseFloat(document.getElementById("hoursPerDay").value);
var daysPerWeek = parseFloat(document.getElementById("daysPerWeek").value);
var resultElement = document.getElementById("result");
if (isNaN(annualSalary) || isNaN(weeksPerYear) || isNaN(hoursPerDay) || isNaN(daysPerWeek) ||
annualSalary < 0 || weeksPerYear <= 0 || hoursPerDay <= 0 || daysPerWeek <= 0) {
resultElement.innerHTML = "Please enter valid positive numbers for all fields.";
return;
}
var totalHoursPerYear = weeksPerYear * daysPerWeek * hoursPerDay;
var hourlyRate = annualSalary / totalHoursPerYear;
resultElement.innerHTML = "Your estimated hourly rate is: $" + hourlyRate.toFixed(2);
