How it’s solved

Worked on the example above, step by step — follow along and you can do it on paper next time, no tool required.

  1. Annualize an hourly wage by multiplying across the hours you actually work.
  2. Annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year
    $28.00 × 40 × 50 = $56,000.00
  3. Monthly = annual ÷ 12
    $56,000.00 ÷ 12 = $4,666.67
  4. Weekly = hourly × hours/week
    $28.00 × 40 = $1,120.00

Frequently asked

How is the annual figure found?

Annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year. Monthly is that divided by 12.

Should I use 50 or 52 weeks?

Use 52 for every week worked, or fewer (like 50) to account for unpaid time off.
