How it is worked out
- $30 × 40 hours = $1,200 a week
- $1,200 × 52 weeks = $62,400 a year
- $62,400 ÷ 12 = $5,200 a month; ÷ 26 = $2,400 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.
