Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate annual salary from hourly wage?
To calculate annual salary from hourly wage, multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. The formula is: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = $52,000 annual salary.
How do you convert salary to hourly rate?
To convert annual salary to hourly rate, divide your annual salary by the total number of hours worked per year. The formula is: Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year). For example, $52,000 ÷ (40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year) = $52,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $25/hour.
What is the standard full-time work schedule?
The standard full-time work schedule in the United States is 40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year, totaling 2,080 hours annually. However, actual work schedules vary by industry, employer, and employment type. Part-time workers typically work less than 40 hours per week, while some industries have different standard hours. This calculator allows you to customize these values to match your actual work schedule.
Should I account for vacation time when calculating hourly to salary?
It depends on whether your vacation is paid or unpaid. For paid vacation (PTO), keep weeks per year at 52 since you're paid for those weeks. For unpaid vacation, subtract those weeks from 52. For example, if you take 2 weeks of unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks per year instead of 52. This ensures your annual salary calculation reflects only the weeks you're actually earning income.
What is overtime pay and how is it calculated?
Overtime pay in the United States is typically calculated at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate (called "time-and-a-half") for hours worked beyond 40 hours per week. Some employers pay double time (2x) for holidays or excessive overtime. For example, if your regular rate is $20/hour, your overtime rate would be $30/hour. This calculator automatically shows your overtime rate in the Details view.
How much is $20 an hour annually?
At $20 per hour working a standard full-time schedule (40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year), your annual salary would be $41,600 before taxes. This breaks down to approximately $800 per week, $1,600 bi-weekly, or $3,467 per month. Keep in mind this is gross pay before taxes, deductions, and benefits are taken out.
How many hours are in a work year?
A standard full-time work year consists of 2,080 hours (40 hours per week × 52 weeks per year). However, this can vary based on your work schedule. Part-time employees work fewer hours, while some industries or positions may require more. If you take unpaid time off, your actual work hours will be less than 2,080.
Does this calculator include taxes?
No, this calculator shows gross pay (before taxes and deductions). Your actual take-home pay will be less after federal income tax, state income tax (if applicable), Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and any other deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions.
