Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours are in a work year?

A standard 40-hour week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, the usual base for full-time salary conversion.

Does the conversion include taxes?

No. It shows gross pay. Taxes and deductions reduce take-home pay below the converted amount.

How does overtime affect it?

Eligible overtime is generally paid at 1.5x, so actual annual pay can exceed the simple conversion.
