How much does minimum wage workers earn a year?

Answer 1

This really depends on the jurisdiction and their corresponding minimum wage laws.

Without knowing tax deductions, holiday pay, vacation time, etc. and assuming full time hours (40 hours per week for 52 weeks in a year) you would probably make in the range of $15 600 ($7.25/hr) to $20 800 ($10/hr) a year,

Part time workers would earn less.

Answer 2

In Illinois it would come out to be $16,120 a year, working 40 hours a week every week, with no overtime or bonuses. So it's not terribly realistic, usually there's some overtime in there.
