FAQs
How is hourly rate calculated from salary?
Hourly = Annual Salary / (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year). The defaults of 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year match a full-time US schedule.
How many hours are in a working year?
A typical full-time working year is 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks), though this can change with vacation, holidays, or part-time schedules.
Why is the monthly pay different from a paycheck?
We divide the annual salary by 12 to get a true monthly average. Semi-monthly or bi-weekly paychecks will differ slightly from this number.
