How the conversion works
Annual salary = Hourly wage × Hours per week × 52 $13 × 40 × 52 = $27,040
A quick mental shortcut: double the hourly wage and add three zeros. $13 × 2 = 26, so roughly $26,000 a year. The exact figure is a little higher because a year has 2,080 working hours, not 2,000.
Overtime at $13 an hour
Non-exempt workers earn at least time and a half for hours over 40 in a week. At $13 an hour that is $19.50 per overtime hour; 5 overtime hours a week add $98 to a weekly paycheck. Use the overtime calculator for your exact hours.
