FAQs

Does a higher hourly rate beat a salary?
Not always. Salaried roles often include benefits and paid time off that raise total compensation above the raw hourly equivalent.
What hours figure should I use?
2,080 hours is the common full-time assumption. Adjust for part-time schedules or unpaid time when comparing real earnings.

Converting an hourly rate to an annual salary is essential when comparing contract work to a salaried offer. This page explains the standard full-time-hours assumption, how unpaid time off and benefits change the comparison, and why a higher hourly rate does not always beat a salaried package once benefits load is included. It is the inverse of the salary-to-hourly view and useful for the same offer-comparison decisions. Use this guidance alongside your payroll system rather than as a compliance source.
