Questions

How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week and by the number of paid weeks you work per year. For example, $30 an hour times 40 hours times 50 weeks is $60,000 a year. The number of paid weeks matters: full-time with two unpaid weeks off is 50 weeks, not 52, which changes the total.

Why does the hourly-to-salary conversion differ for freelancers?

Employees are usually paid for holidays and often get benefits, while freelancers are not — so a freelancer needs a higher hourly rate to match the same salary. A freelancer also bills fewer weeks (time off is unpaid) and covers their own taxes and costs. This converter lets you set realistic paid weeks so the comparison is honest.
