💵 How to Convert Salary to Hourly
Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). For a $60,000 salary at 40 hours/week and 52 weeks: $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85/hour.
A quick estimate: divide your salary by 2,000 to get a rough hourly rate. $60,000 ÷ 2,000 ≈ $30/hour — close, because full-time is about 2,080 hours a year.
