How do I calculate the weekly wage given the annual salary?
To determine your weekly wage based on your yearly salary, you only need to divide your annual pay by 52 (the number of weeks in a year). And... that's it! The result is your weekly wage.
How do I calculate the hourly wage from salary?
To convert your annual salary to hourly wage, you need to:
- Divide your annual pay by 52 (the number of weeks in a year).
- Divide the result of Step 1 by the number of hours worked per week. For most people, it is 40 hours per week.
- The result is your hourly wage! As you can see, it's not hard to calculate the hourly wage from the salary. However, if you struggle with division, use an online wage calculator to verify the result.
How do I calculate the salary from hourly wage?
It's not difficult to convert hourly wage to salary. You need to use the simple formula annual salary = hourly wage × hours worked per week × 52. In other words: multiply your hourly wage by the number of hours you work per week and then by the number of weeks in a year, i.e., 52.

How pay frequency affects your wage
How often you get paid — weekly, every two weeks, or monthly — changes the size of your paycheck.
If you get paid more often, your paychecks will be smaller, but you’ll get money more regularly. If you’re paid once a month, the paycheck will be bigger, but you’ll need to plan your budget carefully. Even though the timing changes, the total amount you earn in a year stays the same.
Always check the pay frequency when starting a new job, because it can make a big difference in how you manage your money.
How to increase your wage
Your wage today doesn’t have to stay the same forever. There are a few ways you can work toward a higher income.
- Getting more education or certifications can help you move up and earn more.
- Building experience and growing your professional network also open doors.
- It’s also smart to negotiate for a better salary when changing jobs.
🙋 When thinking about your income, you might wonder what the middle-class wage is or what the average American salary is. It’s important to remember that it depends greatly on where you live — both the country and even the state. If you’re in the US, the middle-class wage in one place might be considered low or high somewhere else.
What is my annual salary if I earn $20 per hour?
The answer is $41,600 if you work full time, i.e., 40 hours per week. However, if you work a different number of hours, you need to adjust these calculations. Multiply the number of hours you work per week by your hourly wage ($20) and then by the number of weeks in a year (52). If you struggle with the computations, use an online wage calculator.
