How it is worked out

  1. 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 paid hours a year
  2. $100,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $48.08 an hour (48.0769 before rounding to the cent)
  3. $100,000 ÷ 12 = $8,333.33 a month; ÷ 52 = $1,923.08 a week

These are gross figures: pay before income tax and any other deductions. Every hour counts at the same rate, so overtime paid at a higher rate is not in them. For take-home pay, use the paycheck calculator.
