Frequently asked questions
Why 2,080 hours for full-time?
40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 — the standard US full-time year used by employers and the federal government for hourly equivalents of salaries.
Is this gross or take-home pay?
Gross — before income tax, payroll taxes and benefits deductions, which vary too much by person and state to include honestly here.
How do unpaid weeks off change things?
Lower the weeks-per-year figure. Two unpaid weeks (50 weeks) turn that $52,000 example into $50,000 — salaried employees with paid vacation keep 52.
