FAQ
How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply hourly rate by hours per week (typically 40) and weeks per year (usually 52). Example: $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000/year. For salaried positions with 2 weeks vacation, use 50 weeks.
What's the difference between gross and take-home pay?
Gross is your salary before deductions. Take-home (net) is after taxes, retirement contributions, insurance, etc. Typical take-home is 70-80% of gross. Use the tax rate input to estimate - federal rate 10-37%, plus state/local taxes 0-13%.
How much should I make per hour?
Depends on role, location, experience. Median US wage is $23/hour ($48k/year). Entry level: $15-20/hour. Mid-career: $25-40/hour. Senior professional: $50-75/hour. Use this to benchmark job offers and negotiate.
