How the Hourly Rate Calculator Works
Our hourly rate calculator converts your annual salary to hourly wage and shows you both your gross (before tax) and net (after tax) hourly rates:
- Enter Your Annual Salary: Input your gross annual salary (e.g., $150,000)
- Set Your Work Hours: Enter hours per week (typically 40) and weeks per year (typically 52)
- Select Your Location: Choose your country and state (if US) for accurate tax calculations
- Calculate: See your hourly rate before tax, after tax, and tax per hour
Example: $150,000 Annual Salary
If you earn $150,000 per year working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks:
- Gross Hourly Rate: $150,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $72.12 per hour
- After Tax (estimated): Approximately $50-55 per hour (varies by state and filing status)
- Tax per Hour: Approximately $17-22 per hour goes to taxes
