Hourly Wage $15–$50: Yearly Pay Table

Comparing hourly wages is easier when you normalize them to the same yearly model. The common full-time assumption is 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year:

yearly  ≈ hourly × 40 × 52
weekly  ≈ hourly × 40
monthly ≈ yearly ÷ 12

Illustrative payroll math only — not tax, benefits, or employment advice. Gross ≠ take-home.

Yearly table ($15–$50/hour)

Hourly	Weekly (40 hr)	Yearly (×52)	Monthly avg
$15	$600	$31,200	≈ $2,600
$20	$800	$41,600	≈ $3,467
$25	$1,000	$52,000	≈ $4,333
$30	$1,200	$62,400	≈ $5,200
$40	$1,600	$83,200	≈ $6,933
$50	$2,000	$104,000	≈ $8,667

When 2,080 hours is the wrong model

Part-time schedules, unpaid time off, or a 37.5-hour week change the annual figure. If you work 20 hours/week, cut yearly roughly in half. If you only get paid for 50 weeks, use 50 — not 52 — in the formula.

Overtime is separate

Time-and-a-half for hours over 40 is not baked into the flat annual table. Model OT with TryCalculatingNow Overtime Pay Calculator, then add to base pay. More on the conversion itself: hourly to yearly salary math.

FAQ

Is $52k at $25/hour take-home?

No. Taxes, insurance, and retirement deductions reduce net pay.

Why do some sites use 2,000 hours?

They approximate unpaid leave (about 40 × 50). State the hours model when you compare offers.

How do I compare two hourly offers?

Normalize both to the same hours/year and the same gross-vs-net basis before comparing.
