Enter your hourly rate, the number of hours you work per week, and the number of weeks you work per year into the calculator to determine your earning potential.

Earning Potential Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the earning potential:

EP = HR * HW * WY

Variables:

  • EP is the earning potential ($)
  • HR is the hourly rate ($/hour)
  • HW is the number of hours worked per week
  • WY is the number of weeks worked per year

To calculate the earning potential, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per week and then by the number of weeks worked per year.

What is Earning Potential?

Earning potential is an estimate of the amount of money someone can expect to earn over a certain period, typically a year. It is based on their hourly wage, the number of hours they work each week, and the number of weeks they work in a year. This calculation can help individuals plan their finances and set career goals.

How to Calculate Earning Potential?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Earning Potential:

  1. First, determine the hourly rate (HR) in dollars per hour.
  2. Next, determine the number of hours worked per week (HW).
  3. Next, determine the number of weeks worked per year (WY).
  4. Next, gather the formula from above = EP = HR * HW * WY.
  5. Finally, calculate the Earning Potential (EP) in dollars.
  6. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem :

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

hourly rate (HR) = $25/hour

hours worked per week (HW) = 40 hours

weeks worked per year (WY) = 52 weeks
