Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by hours per week, then by weeks worked per year. Formula: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. Standard calculation: Hourly Rate × 40 hrs × 52 weeks = Annual Salary. Example: $25/hr × 40 × 52 = $52,000/year. If you take 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks: $25 × 40 × 50 = $50,000/year.
How much is minimum wage per year in 2025?
The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr as of 2025 — unchanged since 2009. At full-time (40 hrs/week, 52 weeks), that equals $15,080/year before taxes. However, many states have higher minimums: California $16.50/hr ($34,320/yr), New York $16.00/hr ($33,280/yr), Washington $16.66/hr ($34,653/yr), Colorado $14.81/hr, Florida $13.00/hr. Some cities have even higher rates: Seattle $20.29/hr, San Francisco $18.67/hr.
What is a good hourly wage in 2025?
Context matters, but benchmarks: US median hourly wage is approximately $23/hr ($47,840/year) in 2025. $20/hr ($41,600/yr) is roughly the living wage threshold in moderate cost-of-living areas. $30/hr ($62,400/yr) is considered a comfortable wage in most mid-size US cities. $50/hr ($104,000/yr) puts you in the top 25% of US earners. $75+/hr ($156,000+/yr) is competitive for skilled professionals in high-cost areas. These are gross figures before taxes, benefits, and cost-of-living adjustments.
How do I compare a salary offer to my current hourly job?
Convert both to the same time unit. To compare a $70,000/year salary to your current $32/hr job: $70,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = $33.65/hr. But also factor in benefits: health insurance (worth $6,000–$15,000/year), 401k match (3–6% of salary), paid time off (2 weeks = ~4% of annual pay), and other perks. A $70,000 salary with full benefits can be equivalent to $85,000+ in total compensation vs. a $32/hr contractor rate with no benefits.
