The default is 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours), the convention BLS and most payroll systems use. Paid vacation and holidays stay in the count because the salary pays for them; lower the weeks only for unpaid time off. Results are gross pay, before tax.
For scale: the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is $15,080 a year at 2,080 hours.

Questions
How do you convert a yearly salary to an hourly rate?

How many working hours are in a year?
2,080 at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. With two unpaid weeks off it is 2,000. Paid holidays and paid vacation still count, because the salary covers them.
Is the result before or after tax?
Before tax. The calculator converts gross pay; federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare and benefit deductions are not taken out.
What is the federal minimum wage as a yearly salary?
$7.25 an hour × 2,080 hours is $15,080 a year for full-time work. Many states and cities set a higher minimum wage.
