How Hourly Wages Work in Ontario

Hourly wage = Annual salary / (Number of weeks per year × Hours per week)
For overtime calculation:
Overtime pay = (Hourly wage × 1.5) × (Total hours - 40)

Comparison Table
| Annual Salary | Hourly Rate (40h/week) | Overtime Rate |
|---|---|---|

Worked Examples
Example 1: Calculating Hourly Rate from Annual Salary
If you earn $45,000 annually, your hourly rate would be:
Hourly rate = $45,000 / (52 weeks × 40 hours) = $45,000 / 2,080 = $21.63/hour
Example 2: Calculating Annual Salary from Hourly Rate
If you earn $20/hour, your annual salary would be:
Annual salary = $20 × 52 weeks × 40 hours = $20 × 2,080 = $41,600
Example 3: Overtime Calculation
If you work 45 hours in a week at $20/hour:
Regular pay = $20 × 40 = $800
Overtime pay = ($20 × 1.5) × 5 = $150
Total weekly pay = $800 + $150 = $950
