How it is worked out
- $17 × 40 hours = $680 a week
- $680 × 52 weeks = $35,360 a year
- $35,360 ÷ 12 = $2,946.67 a month; ÷ 26 = $1,360 every two weeks
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.
