Frequently asked questions
How many working hours are in a year?
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours a year — the standard figure used to convert between annual salary and hourly pay.
Does this account for unpaid time off?
No — it assumes you work every week of the year. If you take significant unpaid leave, your effective hourly rate for paid weeks would be higher.
