How the Hourly to Salary Calculation Works (FLSA Guidelines)
Converting an hourly wage into an annual gross salary is straightforward, but estimating your true take-home pay requires factoring in federal tax brackets, standard deductions, and mandatory social security contributions.
1. Base Hourly Calculation
Standard US full-time employment assumes 40 hours per week over 52 weeks per year, totaling **2,080 working hours annually**. The base annual gross salary formula is:
2. FLSA Overtime Rules (1.5x Rate)
Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt hourly employees who work more than 40 hours in a single workweek are legally entitled to overtime pay at **1.5 times their regular hourly rate** ("time-and-a-half").
3. Mandatory Deductions: Federal Tax & FICA
- Federal Income Tax: Computed using 2026 progressive tax brackets (10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, 37%) after subtracting the **$14,600 standard deduction** for single filers.
- Social Security (FICA): Charged at a flat rate of **6.2%** on gross earnings up to the annual Social Security wage cap ($168,600).
- Medicare (FICA): Charged at a flat rate of **1.45%** on all gross earnings without cap.

What is the US Hourly to Annual Salary Converter?
The US Hourly to Annual Salary Converter is a wage benchmark utility designed for employees, freelancers, and employers in the United States to convert hourly wages into monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, and annual salary equivalents.
Understanding how an hourly wage translates to an annual salary is crucial for job offer comparisons, budgeting, and tax planning. Under US labor guidelines, several parameters govern how wages are paid and taxed:
• Standard Working Hours: The typical full-time work year consists of 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, totaling 2,080 working hours annually.
• Overtime Compensation: The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) mandates that non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per workweek at a rate not less than 1.5 times their regular rate of pay (commonly referred to as 'time-and-a-half').
• FICA Payroll Taxes: Both employees and employers must pay FICA taxes to fund federal social programs:
- Social Security: Taxed at 6.2% on gross wages up to the annual contribution limit ($168,600 for recent years).
- Medicare: Taxed at 1.45% on all gross wages (plus an additional 0.9% on wages exceeding $200,000 for single filers).
• Federal Income Tax: Federal taxes are progressive, applied to your taxable income after subtracting the IRS standard deduction ($14,600 for single filers in the 2026 tax year).
This tool computes your annual gross earnings including overtime, deducts FICA payroll taxes and progressive federal income taxes, and displays your net take-home salary.

Enter your hourly wage, hours per week, weeks worked per year, and overtime hours. Results include gross annual/monthly/biweekly pay, estimated federal + FICA taxes, and net take-home.
Formula & Calculation Method
Annual gross = (regular hours × rate + overtime hours × 1.5× rate) × weeks. Federal tax is calculated using 2026 single-filer brackets after the $14,600 standard deduction. FICA = 6.2% Social Security (up to $168,600) + 1.45% Medicare.
Example Calculation
$25/hour for 40 hours/week over 52 weeks is $52,000 gross. Subtracting standard deduction ($14,600) and applying 2026 brackets + FICA results in $42,100 net.
