Should I use 52 weeks even if I get paid vacation?

Yes. Paid vacation or paid holidays still pay you for that week, so it counts toward your annual total. Only lower the weeks figure for genuinely unpaid time off.

Does this account for overtime?

No, this assumes every hour is paid at your entered hourly rate. If you regularly work overtime at 1.5x or 2x pay, use the Overtime Calculator to add that on top of this base annual figure.

Weekly pay$1,000.00

How the calculation works

Multiply your hourly rate by how many hours you work in a typical week to get your weekly pay, then multiply by the number of weeks you actually work in a year. If you get every week paid, use 52; if you take unpaid time off, lower that number so the annual figure reflects real take-home weeks, not a full calendar year.

Formula

Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours Per Week × Weeks Worked Per Year.

Examples

$25.00/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks
$52,000.00/year ($4,333.33/month, $1,000.00/week)
$18.50/hour, 35 hours/week, 50 weeks
$32,375.00/year ($2,697.92/month, $647.50/week)
