To convert hourly to annual salary: multiply your hourly rate by hours per week, then by weeks per year. The standard formula is hourly × 40 hours × 52 weeks = annual salary. For example, $20/hour × 40 × 52 = $41,600 per year. This salary calculator converts between all pay periods instantly.
$20 per hour equals $41,600 per year working standard full-time hours (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year). After accounting for 10 vacation days, it is approximately $40,800 per year. Before taxes, the biweekly paycheck at $20/hour would be about $1,600.
A standard work year has 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). After subtracting 10 federal holidays and typical vacation days, many people work approximately 1,920–2,000 hours per year. Our salary calculator lets you input your actual hours per week and vacation days for a more accurate conversion.
Biweekly pay is issued every two weeks — 26 paychecks per year. Semimonthly pay is issued twice per month — 24 paychecks per year. Biweekly employees receive a third paycheck in two months each year. At the same annual salary, biweekly paychecks are slightly smaller than semimonthly ones but you get two extra per year.
Under federal law (FLSA), overtime is paid at 1.5× your regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a week. If you earn $20/hour, your overtime rate is $30/hour. Some states have daily overtime rules. Overtime is calculated on the regular rate before any bonuses or supplemental pay.
