To turn an hourly wage into a salary, multiply it by the hours worked in a year — 40 hours a week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. So $25 an hour × 2,080 = $52,000 a year.

Hourly pay vs a salary: what changes?

Hourly workers are often eligible for overtime pay when they work beyond their regular week, which can raise total pay in busy periods, but earnings can also vary if hours are cut. Salaried workers usually receive the same amount each pay period, giving more predictable monthly income.

Paid time off can also differ: salaried roles commonly include paid holidays and sick leave as part of the package, while hourly arrangements may pay only for hours worked, unless paid leave is provided. The right choice depends on how much you value predictable income and paid leave against the chance to earn extra overtime pay.
