Turn an annual salary into an hourly wage, or an hourly wage into a salary, and see it broken down by week, month, and estimated take-home. Handy for setting a tech's pay, comparing a W-2 offer to a 1099 rate, or checking what a raise really means. Runs in your browser; nothing is stored.
Salary to hourly is just division: annual pay over hours worked in a year. The catch is the hours. A "standard" year is 2,080 hours, 40 a week for 52 weeks, but nobody works all 52 with no time off. Count only the weeks you are actually paid to work and the effective hourly value of a salary goes up, because the same money is spread over fewer hours. That gap is exactly why a salaried tech and a 1099 sub quoting the same "rate" are not making the same money.
When you compare a salaried offer to a contractor's hourly rate, remember the 1099 number has to cover self-employment tax, no employer benefits, unpaid time off, and business overhead. A 60,000 dollar salary is not "the same" as 28.85 an hour as a sub, the sub needs to charge well more per hour to net the same. If you are the one setting a shop rate rather than a wage, that is a different calculation entirely.
This tool converts pay. It does not tell you what to bill a customer for an hour of a tech's time, which has to carry overhead and profit on top of the wage. For that, use the contractor hourly rate calculator, which works backward from your target take-home and real overhead to the rate your business needs to charge. Pair it with the markup vs margin calculator so parts carry their weight too.
Knowing your numbers only pays off if the invoices actually go out. FieldForge turns a finished job into a billed one in seconds: say the work, the invoice builds from your price book with labor and parts, and the customer taps a link to pay by card. Fewer hours spent on paperwork is more of your day earning the rate you just calculated.
About 28.85 an hour at 2,080 hours. Fewer paid weeks raise the effective rate.
About 62,400 a year at 40 hours for 52 weeks, before tax.
