Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert hourly to annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks) for full-time. So $25/hour = $52,000 annually. Adjust for actual hours: 37.5 hours/week = 1,950 annual hours. If you get unpaid time off, use 50 weeks (2,000 hours) instead.

Why is my take-home less than I expected?

Taxes take 20-35% of gross pay depending on income and location. Federal income tax (10-22% for most), Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and state tax (0-13%) all reduce take-home. A $50k salary typically yields $38-42k after tax depending on state.

Is hourly or salary better?

It depends on your job. Hourly workers get overtime (1.5x) for hours over 40—great if you work extra. Salaried (exempt) employees often work unpaid overtime but may get better benefits. Calculate your effective hourly rate: divide salary by actual hours worked.
