What your salary is really worth per hour
How it works
- Yearly pay = hourly rate × weekly hours × working weeks.
- $20 per hour full-time is roughly $41,600 a year before tax.
- Remember unpaid leave: two unpaid weeks off cuts yearly pay by about 4%.
- Hourly workers often miss paid holiday and sick pay — factor that in when comparing with a salary.
Worked example: $22 an hour, 36 hours a week, 4 weeks unpaid
- 1Paid weeks: 52 − 4 = 48.
- 2Weekly pay: 22 × 36 = 792.
- 3Yearly pay: 792 × 48 = 38,016.
$22/hour at 36 h/week with 4 unpaid weeks ≈ $38,016 a year
