How it is worked out
- 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 paid hours a year
- $35,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $16.83 an hour (16.8269 before rounding to the cent)
- $35,000 ÷ 12 = $2,916.67 a month; ÷ 52 = $673.08 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.
