The quick formula
Annual salary = hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year. With a standard 40-hour week and 52 weeks, that is 2,080 working hours a year, so $25/hour ≈ $52,000/year and a $75,000 salary ≈ $36.06/hour.
A handy shortcut: double the hourly wage and add three zeros for a rough annual salary ($30/hour ≈ $60,000).

Frequently asked questions
Should I count paid vacation?
If your vacation and holidays are paid, keep 52 weeks. If you are a contractor and do not get paid time off, reduce the weeks per year (for example 48) for a realistic comparison.
Is this before or after tax?
These are gross (before-tax) amounts. Use the paycheck calculator to see take-home pay.
How many working hours are in a year?
2,080 for a full-time job (40 hours × 52 weeks). If you take two weeks of unpaid leave it is 2,000 hours. Part-time schedules scale down from there.
Is $25 an hour a good wage?
$25 an hour is about $52,000 a year full time, close to the typical US full-time salary. Whether it is comfortable depends heavily on local housing costs.
