How to Calculate Annual Salary from Hourly Rate
The formula is simple: Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year = Annual Salary.
For example, $25/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = $52,000/year. With 2 weeks unpaid vacation: $25 × 40 × 50 = $50,000/year.
Understanding Your Pay
Gross vs Net Pay: Gross is your total before deductions. Net (take-home) is after taxes, insurance, and retirement contributions — typically 65–80% of gross.
Hourly vs Salary: Hourly workers earn overtime (1.5× for >40 hrs/week). Salaried employees get predictable income and usually more benefits.
Total Compensation: Add 20–30% to your salary for benefits value (health insurance, 401k match, PTO, etc.).
Overtime: Non-exempt workers earn 1.5× their hourly rate for hours exceeding 40 per week under the FLSA.
Standard Work Hours
• Full-time: 40 hours/week, 2,080 hours/year (US standard).
• Part-time: Less than 35 hours/week. May not qualify for benefits.
• Vacation Impact: If you get 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks. Paid vacation? Use 52 weeks — you're paid regardless.
• Global Differences: Many European countries use 35–38 hours as standard full-time and offer 4–6 weeks paid vacation.
Salary Negotiation Tips
• Research Market Rates: Use Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary, and BLS data to understand your market value.
• Calculate Your Worth: Factor in experience, skills, certifications, and location cost-of-living.
• Consider Total Compensation: Benefits can add 20–30% to your effective pay. Don't overlook 401k match, health insurance, stock options.
• Ask for Specific Numbers: Instead of a range, give a specific number slightly above your target to anchor the negotiation.
• Know Your Minimum: Before negotiating, determine the lowest offer you will accept and be prepared to walk away.
