How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly wage?
Divide your annual salary by the total number of work hours in a year. For a standard 40-hour week and 52 weeks: hourly rate = annual salary ÷ 2,080. For example, a $65,000 annual salary ÷ 2,080 hours = $31.25 per hour. If you work fewer hours, your effective hourly rate is higher.
How do I convert an hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly wage by the total work hours per year. For a standard schedule: annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year. This does not include overtime, bonuses, or benefits.
How is overtime pay calculated?
In the US, overtime is typically paid at 1.5× your regular hourly rate for hours worked beyond 40 per week (under the Fair Labor Standards Act). For example, if your regular rate is $25/hour and you work 45 hours: 40 regular hours = $1,000 + 5 overtime hours at $37.50/hour = $187.50, for a total weekly pay of $1,187.50.
What is the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly pay?
Biweekly means every two weeks (26 paychecks per year), while semi-monthly means twice per month on set dates like the 1st and 15th (24 paychecks per year). Semi-monthly checks are slightly larger: a $52,000 salary pays $2,000 biweekly vs $2,166.67 semi-monthly. The annual total is the same.
How many working hours are in a year?
For a standard 40-hour work week with no vacation: 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours per year. However, most full-time employees in the US get 10-15 paid holidays (~80-120 hours) and 10-20 vacation days. Accounting for 10 holidays and 10 vacation days: 40 × 50 = 2,000 effective working hours.
What is a good hourly rate for my salary?
The US median household income is approximately $75,000/year or $36/hour. A "good" rate depends on your field and location. As a rule of thumb: $15-20/hour = entry-level, $25-40/hour = mid-career, $50-75/hour = senior professional, $100+/hour = executive or specialized. Cost of living varies significantly — $50,000/year stretches much further in rural areas than in major cities.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
No, this calculator shows gross pay (before taxes). Actual take-home pay depends on your tax bracket, filing status, state taxes, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and any pre-tax deductions (401k, health insurance). A rough estimate: take-home pay is typically 70-80% of gross pay for most earners. Use a dedicated tax calculator for net pay estimates.
How do I calculate my effective hourly rate with benefits?
Add the annual value of your benefits to your salary, then divide by total hours. Typical benefits include: health insurance ($5,000-$15,000), retirement match (3-6% of salary), PTO value (salary ÷ 260 × PTO days). For example: $65,000 salary + $8,000 health + $3,250 (5% match) + $2,500 (10 PTO days) = $78,750 total compensation ÷ 2,080 hours = $37.86/hour effective rate.
