Nurse hourly to salary calculator
Turn $/hr into a rough yearly figure with the hours you actually work (often 36, not 40). Differentials and OT are optional add-ons — this page stays nurse-labeled on purpose.

Comparing an hourly offer to a salaried posting; mental budgeting.
When not to
Exempt status or benefit valuation.
Assumptions: Annual ≈ Hourly × Hours/week × Weeks/year (default 52).
Worked examples
Input
$45/hr 36 hrs/week 52 weeks
Output
Annual gross $84,240
36-hour weeks are common for hospital RNs — not the 40-hr default most salary widgets use.
Input
$45/hr 36 hrs/week +$200/wk differential
Output
Annual gross $94,640
Common traps
- 3×12 is not 40 hours — using 40 inflates the annual number on a 36-hour schedule.
- Unpaid FMLA or unpaid leave weeks shrink real annual income.
- OT is not automatic — don't bake in overtime unless you model it separately.

Common questions
Often 36 hours/week (3×12) at hospitals — not always 40. Enter what your contract or unit actually schedules.
Yes — add an average weekly differential on top of base to approximate annual gross with premiums.
No — annual gross only. Net pay depends on withholding, state, and benefits.
No — a planning conversion from hourly rate and hours you enter, not a W-2 guarantee.
