Does this match my pay stub?

Close enough — your pay stub uses your annual salary divided by pay periods (52 weeks × $X = ÷ 26 bi-weekly). This is the same divided into hourly.

How does this compare to contract rates?

A contractor typically charges 1.5-2× the hourly equivalent of a salary, since they cover their own benefits, taxes, downtime, and overhead.

About this tool

Reverse of the hourly-to-salary calculator: figure out what your salaried role pays per hour. Useful for negotiating consulting rates, deciding if a job offer is competitive on an hourly basis, or comparing a full-time role to a contract opportunity. The default of 50 weeks/year accounts for a typical 2-week vacation; bump it to 52 if you don't take any time off.
