The formula, in one line

Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year. Worked through for $25 an hour: $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year, which pays out as $4,333.33 a month, $2,000.00 bi-weekly, $1,000.00 a week and $200.00 a day — gross, before tax.

A handy shortcut for full-time work: doubling your hourly rate in thousands gets you close ($25/hr ≈ $50k), and the exact figure at 40 × 52 is your rate × 2,080.

The PTO question that changes the answer

Two jobs at the same hourly rate can pay very differently across a year, and the difference is time off. If your holiday is paid, you are paid for all 52 weeks and the annual figure stands. If it is unpaid — common for contract, seasonal and some part-time roles — 2 weeks off at $25 an hour cuts the year to $50,000. Always check which kind of time off a job offers before comparing offers by the hour.
