The hourly to salary formula
Worked example: $22.50 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $46,800 a year, which is $3,900 a month, $1,800 biweekly, $900 a week and $180 for an 8-hour day. Working 30 hours a week instead gives $35,100; two unpaid weeks at 40 hours give $45,000.
| Hourly | Yearly (2,080 h) | Monthly | Biweekly | Weekly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $31,200 | $2,600 | $1,200 | $600 |
| $18.00 | $37,440 | $3,120 | $1,440 | $720 |
| $20.00 | $41,600 | $3,467 | $1,600 | $800 |
| $25.00 | $52,000 | $4,333 | $2,000 | $1,000 |
| $30.00 | $62,400 | $5,200 | $2,400 | $1,200 |
| $35.00 | $72,800 | $6,067 | $2,800 | $1,400 |
| $40.00 | $83,200 | $6,933 | $3,200 | $1,600 |
| $50.00 | $104,000 | $8,667 | $4,000 | $2,000 |
| $75.00 | $156,000 | $13,000 | $6,000 | $3,000 |
Part-time hours: annual pay from 20 to 40 hours a week
| Hourly | 20 h/week | 25 h/week | 30 h/week | 35 h/week | 40 h/week |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $15,600 | $19,500 | $23,400 | $27,300 | $31,200 |
| $18.00 | $18,720 | $23,400 | $28,080 | $32,760 | $37,440 |
| $20.00 | $20,800 | $26,000 | $31,200 | $36,400 | $41,600 |
| $25.00 | $26,000 | $32,500 | $39,000 | $45,500 | $52,000 |
| $30.00 | $31,200 | $39,000 | $46,800 | $54,600 | $62,400 |
| $35.00 | $36,400 | $45,500 | $54,600 | $63,700 | $72,800 |
Annual pay is hours per week × 52 weeks × rate, so 30 hours a week earns exactly three quarters of a 40-hour salary. Under the Affordable Care Act, 30 hours a week counts as full time for employer health coverage at companies with 50 or more employees, which is why many part-time schedules stop at 29.
Gross vs. take-home: FICA comes out first
Every W-2 paycheck loses 7.65% to FICA before income tax: 6.2% for Social Security (up to the annual wage base) and 1.45% for Medicare (no cap). Federal income tax, state income tax where it applies, and pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k) or health premiums come out after that. The table shows the FICA step only; for a single filer at these wages, take-home pay usually lands between 75% and 82% of gross.
| Hourly | Gross (2,080 h) | FICA 7.65% | After FICA | Per month after FICA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $31,200 | −$2,387 | $28,813 | $2,401 |
| $20.00 | $41,600 | −$3,182 | $38,418 | $3,202 |
| $25.00 | $52,000 | −$3,978 | $48,022 | $4,002 |
| $30.00 | $62,400 | −$4,774 | $57,626 | $4,802 |
| $40.00 | $83,200 | −$6,365 | $76,835 | $6,403 |
