Real Hourly Rate

Your real hourly rate accounts for actual hours worked. Many salaried employees work 45-50 hours/week, significantly reducing their effective hourly rate:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my true hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by actual hours worked, not the standard 2,080. If you work 50 hours/week for 50 weeks, that's 2,500 hours. A $100k salary = $40/hour actual vs. $48/hour nominal. This reveals your real compensation for time spent.

Why should I calculate my real hourly rate?

It helps compare job offers accurately. A $60k salaried job requiring 50 hours/week pays less per hour ($23) than a $50k job at 40 hours ($24). It also helps evaluate overtime opportunities and decide if extra work is worth it.

How does overtime affect the comparison?

Hourly workers get 1.5x for overtime (over 40 hours). A $20/hour worker at 50 hours earns $20×40 + $30×10 = $1,100/week ($57,200/year). A salaried employee at the same hours with $57,200 salary gets no overtime premium—they earn less per hour.
