How do you calculate your hourly wages from salary?

Answer 1

Take your salary (example $20,000) and divide it by the number of weeks you work (usually 52).

20,000/52= $384.62 (this is what you earn each week)

Then divide this amount by the number of hours you work each week (usually 40).

$384.62/40= $9.61 A $20,000 salary is equivalent to $9.61 each week if working 40 hours per week.

Conversely, another general rule is that to convert an hourly amount to estimate the annual amount, you would double the hourly wage, then convert it to thousands.

So, a rough estimate, if you knew you made $9.00 per hour, double it.... 9x2=$18 and convert to thousands, so...$18,000 and that will give you a rough estimate of what the annual income would be.
