Frequently asked questions
How many work hours are in a year?
The standard US assumption is 2,080 hours per year: 40 hours/week × 52 weeks. If you take two weeks of unpaid time off, that drops to 2,000 hours; with three weeks off, 1,960. Salaried employees are paid for 2,080 regardless of holiday and PTO usage, so $50K/year ÷ 2,080 = ~$24/hour is the canonical conversion.
Does this include overtime?
No. This is a straight-line conversion that assumes all hours are paid at the same rate. Non-exempt employees are entitled to time-and-a-half (1.5×) for hours over 40 per week under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Use the Overtime Calculator to model weeks with overtime pay.
How do I account for PTO?
If your PTO is paid, leave weeksPerYear at 52 — those weeks count as worked and paid. If PTO is unpaid, reduce weeksPerYear accordingly (e.g. 50 for two weeks unpaid). For comparing job offers, always compare on the same total compensation basis including benefits, 401(k) match, and bonus.
