How the conversion works
Annual salary = Hourly wage × Hours per week × 52 $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000
A quick mental shortcut: double the hourly wage and add three zeros. $25 × 2 = 50, so roughly $50,000 a year. The exact figure is a little higher because a year has 2,080 working hours, not 2,000.
Overtime at $25 an hour
Non-exempt workers earn at least time and a half for hours over 40 in a week. At $25 an hour that is $37.50 per overtime hour; 5 overtime hours a week add $188 to a weekly paycheck. Use the overtime calculator for your exact hours.
