Frequently asked questions
What is the 2,080-hour rule?
A full-time year is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. So $25/hr × 2,080 = $52,000/yr. It's the quick mental math behind every salary conversion.
Does this include overtime?
No — it assumes straight time. In the US, non-exempt hourly workers typically earn 1.5× for hours over 40/week, which would raise real annual pay above this estimate.
Salary vs. hourly — which is better?
Salary brings predictable paychecks and often benefits; hourly pays you for every hour worked, including overtime. Convert both offers with this tool, then weigh benefits, stability, and expected hours.
