By Global Tools Research · Published July 30, 2026
Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary is simple: multiply by the number of hours worked in a year. Full-time in the US is typically 40 hours a week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. Here is what common hourly rates add up to.
Hourly to Yearly (Full-Time)
| Hourly | Weekly | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15 | $600 | $2,600 | $31,200 |
| $18 | $720 | $3,120 | $37,440 |
| $20 | $800 | $3,467 | $41,600 |
| $22 | $880 | $3,813 | $45,760 |
| $25 | $1,000 | $4,333 | $52,000 |
| $30 | $1,200 | $5,200 | $62,400 |
Part-Time and Unpaid Leave
These figures assume full-time hours with no unpaid time off. Working 30 hours a week instead of 40 reduces the annual total by 25%; two weeks of unpaid leave reduces it by about 4%.
