How the math works

A yearly salary is the hourly rate times hours per week times weeks per year. At $30 an hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, that is $62,400: $5,200 a month and $1,200 a week. The reverse divides the salary by the same hours: $62,400 over 2,080 working hours is $30 an hour.

Weeks per year is where the honest adjustments live. Fifty-two assumes no unpaid time off. If a job pays hourly with two unpaid weeks, use 50: the same $30 rate is $60,000, not $62,400. These figures are gross pay, before taxes and deductions.
