Different Work Schedules
Not everyone works 40 hours per week. Adjust the formula:
- Part-time (20 hrs): Hourly x 1,040 = Annual
- Full-time (40 hrs): Hourly x 2,080 = Annual
- Overtime (50 hrs): (40 x rate + 10 x rate x 1.5) x 52 = Annual
Hourly vs Salary: Key Differences
- Hourly: Paid per hour. Overtime at 1.5x after 40 hours. More flexibility.
- Salary: Fixed annual amount. May be exempt from overtime. Benefits included.
- Freelance: Charge 1.3-1.5x the equivalent hourly rate to cover taxes and lack of benefits.
