How $15 an hour compares

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour ($15,080 a year), though most states set a higher floor — $15 an hour is 2.1× the federal minimum. The median full-time US worker earns roughly $62,000 a year (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025), so $31,200 is about 50 % of the median, below the typical full-time paycheck.

The conversion is simple: hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. Payroll uses 2,080 hours for a full-time year; a salaried employee’s equivalent hourly rate is salary ÷ 2,080. Monthly pay is the annual figure ÷ 12 — not weekly × 4, which under-counts by about 8 %.
