The formula is simple: Hourly Rate x Hours Per Week x Weeks Per Year = Annual Salary. For example, $25/hour x 40 hours x 52 weeks = $52,000/year.
Adjust the weeks per year if you have unpaid time off. For example, 2 weeks unpaid vacation = 50 working weeks.
Understanding Your Tax Rate
The default 25% tax estimate includes federal income tax, state tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). Your actual rate depends on your filing status, state, and deductions. Use this as a rough guide — consult a tax professional for exact numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard full-time work year is 2,080 hours (40 hours x 52 weeks). After accounting for holidays and vacation, actual working hours are typically 1,920-2,000.
Is $25 an hour a good salary?
At $25/hour and 40 hours/week, you earn $52,000/year gross. This is close to the U.S. median individual income. Whether it is "good" depends on your location — it goes further in the Midwest than in San Francisco or New York.
How do I account for overtime?
Federal law requires 1.5x pay for hours over 40 per week. If you regularly work overtime, increase your hours per week — the calculator will compute based on your total hours. For precise overtime math, multiply extra hours by 1.5x your rate separately.
