This is not some rocket science to convert salary to hourly wage.

If you know your yearly salary, you can calculate your wage per hour using the formula below:

W = Hourly Wage S = Salary H = Hours Per Week WPY = Weeks Per Year

W = S / (H × WPY)

In case where, Salary is Monthly

W = S / (H × 4)

This is because there are 4 weeks in a month.
