$29.59 on paper, before the 5 unpaid hours a week
A $58,000 salary across 40 contracted hours a week is $29.59 an hour. Once the 5 unpaid extra hours a week are counted, it is $26.30 an hour, a difference of $3.29. The other offer at $66,000 for 50 hours works out at $26.94 an hour, so the other offer pays more per hour despite the longer week.

What this tool actually does for you
The problem it points at
A salary hides the hours. Two jobs paying the same can be ten dollars an hour apart once you count what the week actually looks like.
What you walk away with
A real hourly rate you can compare like for like, including unpaid overtime.
How to use it
Enter what you have and read off what it becomes.
- Enter the salary and the hours you genuinely work in a normal week.
- Set the paid time off, since that raises the effective rate.
- Add any unpaid extra hours. That is where the number usually moves.
Questions people ask
Should I count my lunch break?
Only if it is unpaid and you are free to leave. If you eat at your desk answering messages, that is working time and it belongs in the number.
Why does paid time off raise the hourly rate?
Because you are paid for weeks you do not work, so the same salary is spread over fewer worked hours. More paid leave means a higher effective rate.
