🎯 Our Mission
HourlyToYearly.com was founded with a single goal: make salary information free and accessible to everyone. Too many workers are left in the dark about their true annual earning potential — especially those paid hourly who want to compare their compensation to salaried positions.
Every year, millions of Americans accept job offers, negotiate raises, or evaluate career changes without a clear picture of what their hourly rate actually means annually. We fix that.
Our hourly to yearly salary calculator provides instant, accurate conversions alongside monthly, weekly, biweekly, and after-tax breakdowns — giving workers the complete salary picture they deserve before making any career decision.
👥 Who We Are
HourlyToYearly.com is operated by a small, dedicated team of finance writers, data researchers, and web developers who are passionate about financial literacy and salary transparency.

📐 Our Methodology & Data Sources
Accuracy is non-negotiable for us. Every number on HourlyToYearly.com is calculated using the same standardized methods used by government wage agencies and professional payroll systems.
We use the Bureau of Labor Statistics standard: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year. Default values are 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year (2,080 annual hours) — the U.S. standard for full-time employment.
After-tax estimates use current IRS federal income tax brackets, FICA rates (Social Security 6.2%, Medicare 1.45%), and state-specific tax tables sourced directly from each state's Department of Revenue. We update tax data every January.
Our "Is $X/hour good pay?" analysis references the latest BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program data, updated annually. We use both median and mean wage data for accurate regional comparisons.
Living wage figures on our site are cross-referenced with MIT's Living Wage Calculator, which accounts for local cost of living including housing, food, transportation, and healthcare by county.
Every page on HourlyToYearly.com is reviewed at minimum once per year (typically each January after IRS tax table updates). High-traffic pages are reviewed quarterly. Each page displays its last-updated date for full transparency.

📊 What HourlyToYearly Covers
HourlyToYearly.com is a comprehensive salary information platform covering:
Hourly to Yearly Salary Calculators
We provide individual salary breakdown pages for every common U.S. hourly rate from $10/hour to $100/hour. Each page includes yearly, monthly, biweekly, weekly, and daily calculations — plus after-tax estimates, budgeting guidance, and comparable job listings.
State-Specific Salary Calculators
Because a $25/hour salary means very different things in Texas vs. California, we maintain salary calculators for all 50 U.S. states. Each state calculator accounts for that state's specific income tax rate, cost of living index, and minimum wage laws.
Salary Guides & Career Resources
Beyond calculators, we publish in-depth guides covering hourly vs. salary trade-offs, negotiation strategies, budgeting frameworks, and career advancement research — all backed by BLS and DOL data.
Tax & Take-Home Pay Tools
Our after-tax salary calculator helps workers understand their real take-home pay after federal income tax, FICA deductions, and state income taxes — essential information often missing from job offer comparisons.
