Formula Explained

The formula for calculating hourly wage is straightforward:

Hourly Wage = Annual Salary / (Weeks per Year × Hours per Week)

For example, if you earn $50,000 per year, work 52 weeks a year, and work 40 hours per week, your hourly wage would be:

$50,000 / (52 × 40) = $23.08 per hour

This formula assumes you work the same number of hours each week throughout the year.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Full-time Employee

Sarah earns $60,000 per year, works 52 weeks a year, and works 37.5 hours per week. Her hourly wage is:

$60,000 / (52 × 37.5) = $25.42 per hour

Example 2: Part-time Employee

Mark earns $20,000 per year, works 26 weeks a year, and works 20 hours per week. His hourly wage is:

$20,000 / (26 × 20) = $38.46 per hour

Example 3: Overtime Calculation

If you work 10 hours of overtime at the same rate, your overtime pay would be:

Overtime Pay = Hourly Wage × 10 × 1.5 (assuming 1.5× overtime rate)

Using Sarah's hourly wage of $25.42, her overtime pay for 10 hours would be:

$25.42 × 10 × 1.5 = $381.30
