Compare Job Offers Accurately
When interviewing for new jobs, one company might offer an annual salary of $65,000, while another offers $32 an hour. Comparing these apples-to-oranges offers is difficult. Our Salary Calculator instantly breaks down your wage into hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly increments.
The 2,080 Hour Rule
The math behind standard American payroll is based on a predictable set of working hours:
- A standard full-time work schedule is 40 hours per week.
- There are 52 weeks in a year.
- 40 hours x 52 weeks = 2,080 working hours in a year.
- Quick Mental Math: To quickly estimate an hourly wage from a salary, double the hourly rate and add three zeros. (e.g., $30/hour x 2 = 60 -> roughly $60,000/year).
- Unpaid Time Off: If your job does not offer Paid Time Off (PTO) and you take 2 weeks of vacation, your annual salary calculation must be based on 2,000 hours, not 2,080.
