How the conversion works
Annual salary = Hourly wage × Hours per week × 52 $22 × 40 × 52 = $45,760
A quick mental shortcut: double the hourly wage and add three zeros. $22 × 2 = 44, so roughly $44,000 a year. The exact figure is a little higher because a year has 2,080 working hours, not 2,000.
Overtime at $22 an hour
Non-exempt workers earn at least time and a half for hours over 40 in a week. At $22 an hour that is $33.00 per overtime hour; 5 overtime hours a week add $165 to a weekly paycheck. Use the overtime calculator for your exact hours.
