How to calculate annual salary
On our menu above under finance you can see our salary to hourly wage converter. This can be useful for salaried employees, because it allows them to properly judge their wages with the amount of hours they work. But what about determining your estimated annual salary based on an hourly wage?
Annual Salary Calculator
Calculate your estimated annual salary based on your hourly wage, overtime hours, and total hours worked (minus overtime hours).
So why would you need to know your estimated annual salary? There are several reasons this could be useful.
First, knowing your annual salary can help immensely with scheduling your budget. For instance, if one month you work 200 hours and get paid some over time, you may think you have a lot of money to work with in your monthly budget. If you then only work 160 hours the next month, you could wind up with less money than expected. Then you might now end up in such a good spot that month. Knowing your annual salary can allow you to evenly divide your wages to each month while you plan your budget.
Second, if you are currently an hourly employee but are applying for a salaried position, it’s important to know where your current wages stand. Salaried employees have the benefit of a guaranteed salary, but the downside of not getting paid for every hour.
Lastly, knowing your annual salary can be used as a bargaining chip with your employer. Compare your annual salary with the industry to see where you stack up.
