How to Convert Your Monthly Salary to Hourly Rate?

Converting monthly pay to an hourly rate requires working backward through the annual salary calculation. This is particularly useful when comparing job offers or considering part-time work.

Standard Formula:
Hourly Rate = (Monthly Pay × 12) ÷ (Weekly Hours × 52)

Example: For $5,000 monthly salary:
($5,000 × 12) ÷ (40 × 52) = $28.85 per hour

Quick Method:
Hourly Rate = Monthly Pay ÷ 173.33

Example: $5,000 ÷ 173.33 = $28.85 per hour
