How annual income is figured

Your annual income is simply your pay rate multiplied by how many times you are paid in a year: an hourly wage times hours worked times 52 weeks; a weekly amount times 52; a biweekly amount times 26; a monthly amount times 12. This shows gross pay (before taxes). For the amount that actually hits your bank account, use the paycheck calculator.

How it’s calculated & sources

Annual = rate × periods per year (hourly × hours × 52; weekly × 52; biweekly × 26; monthly × 12). Monthly, biweekly, weekly and hourly equivalents are derived from the annual figure. Compared to U.S. median income.

Benchmark: U.S. median personal income ~$45,470 and median household income ~$80,610 (U.S. Census, 2023).

Worked example

$25 an hour at 40 hours a week is $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year — about $4,333 a month and $2,000 every two weeks, above the ~$45,470 median personal income.

Frequently asked questions

Is $25 an hour a good salary?

At 40 hours a week it is about $52,000 a year — above the ~$45,470 U.S. median personal income, though how far it goes depends heavily on your area’s cost of living.

Is this gross or take-home?

Gross (before taxes). Federal, state, and FICA taxes reduce it — the paycheck calculator estimates your take-home.

How many work hours are in a year?

Full-time is about 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Part-time or overtime changes the annual total proportionally.
