Step by step

  1. Divide annual salary by 12 for monthly and by 26 for biweekly pay.
  2. Divide by 52 for weekly, 260 for working days and 2,080 for a full-time hourly rate.
  3. Example: $52,000 a year is $1,000 a week and $25 an hour.
  4. These are gross figures — deductions come out afterwards.

Key takeaway: 2,080 hours is the standard full-time work year.
