Methodology
How the Salary to Hourly Calculator works
How Tallivo converts between annual salary and hourly rate, including overtime.
The formula
annual = rate × hours/week × weeks/year (+ OT hours × 1.5 × rate × weeks)
Step by step
- Salary → hourly divides annual pay by (hours/week × weeks/year); the standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 × 52).
- Hourly → salary multiplies the rate by weekly hours and weeks worked; overtime hours are paid at 1.5× the base rate (the FLSA floor for non-exempt work).
- The effective hourly figure divides total annual pay by total hours (base + OT), showing how an overtime premium lifts the blended rate.
- Identical conventions to the paycheck calculator's hourly mode, so both tools produce the same gross figures.
Assumptions & limitations
- Gross (pre-tax) pay only — the paycheck calculator handles taxes.
- A 5-day week for the daily figure; 1.5× overtime unless your state or contract is more generous.
- Salaried conversions divide by paid weeks — paid vacation is still paid time.
