Worked Examples

Example 1: Annual Salary to Hourly Rate

If you earn $50,000 annually and work 40 hours per week:

Hourly Rate = $50,000 / (40 × 52) = $50,000 / 2,080 ≈ $24.04/hour

Example 2: Hourly Rate to Annual Salary

If you earn $20/hour and work 35 hours per week:

Annual Salary = $20 × 35 × 52 = $20 × 1,820 = $36,400/year
