Hourly vs salary, finally clear

Two ways to count the same paycheck.

Punch in any hourly rate or annual salary. We’ll show what it becomes the other way — plus the effective rate after PTO, holidays, and overtime.

Hourly side

$25/hr

Multiply by your hours. Subtract unpaid breaks. The wage on your offer letter — but not what you actually take home.

  • 40 hrs × 52 wks = 2,080 hrs/yr
  • Overtime kicks in at 1.5×
  • PTO usually unpaid
Salary side

$52,000/yr

Divide by 12, by 26, by 2,080. Paid time off is built in — but overtime usually isn’t.

  • $4,333/mo gross
  • $2,000 biweekly
  • 10 holidays + 15 PTO bumps effective rate
