Annual Salary from Hourly Wage
Convert any hourly rate to annual salary using the standard 2,080-hour year, with adjustments for part-time or different work schedules.
The standard conversion: hourly wage × 2,080 = annual salary, where 2,080 = 40 hours/week × 52 weeks. This assumes full-time year-round work with no unpaid time off.

What Counts as "Full-Time"?
Legally in the US, the Affordable Care Act defines full-time as 30+ hours per week for benefits eligibility. Most employers treat 35-40 hours as full-time. Germany and France average 35-37 hours. Japan averages 40+. The conversion changes based on which you use:
- 30 hr/wk × 52 = 1,560 hr/year
- 35 hr/wk × 52 = 1,820 hr/year
- 40 hr/wk × 52 = 2,080 hr/year (US standard)
Net Annual After Tax and FICA
For US workers earning $50K-$100K, net annual is typically 70-78% of gross after federal tax, state tax (in most states), Social Security and Medicare. A $60,000 gross salary nets around $45,000-$47,000 for a single filer with standard deduction.
