Excuse me, could you please clarify what you mean by "$50,000 a year hourly"? I'm not entirely sure I understand the question as it's phrased. Are you asking how much someone would earn per hour if they earned $50,000 a year? If so, the calculation would depend on the number of hours worked per year. Assuming a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks a year (excluding holidays and potential vacation time), the hourly rate would be approximately $24.04. Is that what you were looking for?
