First, multiply the number of hours you work each week by the number of weeks you work each year (commonly 52 or 50). Then, divide your annual salary by this figure. E.g. If you earn a salary of $40,000 and work 40 hours per week for a full year, your hourly rate would be $40,000/ (40 × 52) = $19.23.

To convert your annual salary to hourly wage, follow these steps: Determine the number of hours you work per week. The standard value is 40. Multiply it by the number of weeks in a year, i.e., by 52. You've found the number of hours you work per year. Divide your annual salary by the result of Step 2.. The result is your hourly wage.

If you work a 2,000 hour work year then divide your annual earnings by 2,000 to figure out your hourly wage. To do this quickly in your head you would drop 3 zeros from your annual salary & then divide the remaining number by 2. So if you make $60,000 a year that would first become $60 & then divide that by 2 to get $30 per hour.
