How it is worked out

$42 × 40 hours = $1,680 a week
$1,680 × 52 weeks = $87,360 a year
$87,360 ÷ 12 = $7,280 a month; ÷ 26 = $3,360 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.
