2,080 is the standard full-time work year: 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. Some employers use 2,000 (accounting for holidays) or 1,920 (for vacation time). Adjust the weeks field to match your situation.

Does this account for overtime?

This calculator uses a flat rate conversion. Overtime (typically 1.5× pay for hours over 40/week in the US) is not included. For overtime calculations, your effective hourly rate would be higher than the base rate shown.

How do I account for unpaid time off?

Reduce the weeks per year. If you take 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks instead of 52. This increases your effective hourly rate since you earn the same salary in fewer working hours.

Is the salary shown before or after taxes?

This calculator shows gross (before-tax) conversions. Your take-home pay depends on federal, state, and local tax rates, plus deductions like health insurance and retirement contributions.
