- Bonuses are added to the base salary
- Deductions include taxes, insurance, and other withholdings
Worked Examples
Example 1: Full-time Employee
If you earn $20/hour and work 40 hours per week:
Annual Salary = ($20 × 40 × 52) + $0 - $0 = $41,600
Example 2: With Overtime and Bonuses
If you earn $25/hour, work 40 hours per week, and get 10 hours of overtime at $37.50/hour plus a $5,000 bonus:
Annual Salary = ($25 × 40 × 52) + ($37.50 × 10 × 52) + $5,000 - $0 = $41,000 + $1,900 + $5,000 = $47,900
Example 3: With Deductions
If you earn $30/hour, work 35 hours per week, and have $10,000 in deductions:
Annual Salary = ($30 × 35 × 52) + $0 - $10,000 = $54,600 - $10,000 = $44,600
