Use the result with context

Results are estimates for planning and education. Confirm rates, taxes, fees, and legal requirements with the relevant institution or a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

Formula and method

At 25 per hour, 40 hours per week and 48 paid weeks, gross annual earnings are 48,000. An assumed flat deduction of 20% leaves 38,400 annually, equivalent to 20 per worked hour.

Gross annual earnings = hourly rate × weekly hours × paid weeks; modeled net = gross × (1 − assumed deduction rate)

Assumptions and limitations

  • Hours, weeks and the deduction rate start locked so changes to earnings can solve for the hourly rate. You can edit these assumptions or unlock them. The prefilled 12% deduction is only an example, not a tax rate recommendation.
  • Uses the same hourly rate for all entered paid hours and weeks. Overtime premiums, bonuses, unpaid leave and changing schedules require separate entries or adjustments.
  • The deduction is a single proportional assumption. This does not calculate income tax brackets, credits, social contributions, benefits or an actual payroll payment. Use positive hours and gross pay; the captured week range is 1 to 53.

Common questions

Can I work backwards from annual earnings?

Yes. Enter annual gross earnings with the weekly hours and paid weeks. The hourly rate is annual earnings divided by those hours and weeks.

Should I use 52 paid weeks?

Use the number of weeks covered by the pay you are modeling. Paid leave may count; unpaid time does not. A lower paid-week count reduces annual earnings at the same hourly rate.
