What this means
- The quick mental version: divide your salary by 2,000 to get an approximate hourly rate. A $95,000 salary is roughly $47.50 an hour.
- Paid time off raises your effective hourly rate because you are paid for hours you do not work. Contractors quoting an hourly rate get no such benefit and should price accordingly.
- When comparing a salaried job to contract work, add 25-30% to the salaried hourly rate to account for benefits, employer payroll taxes, and paid leave.
How the salary to hourly calculation works
The standard conversion divides annual salary by the number of hours worked in a year — 2,080 for a full-time 40-hour schedule. That gives a nominal rate that ignores the fact you are also paid for holidays and vacation.
The effective rate is more useful when comparing offers or evaluating contract work. Divide total compensation, including bonus and employer benefits, by the hours you actually work. A generous PTO policy can be worth several dollars an hour on its own.
