To calculate how much $42,000 a year is per hour, you need to know the number of hours worked in a year.
Common Assumption: Full-Time Work
- Full-time work is usually about 40 hours per week.
- There are 52 weeks in a year.
- Total hours per year = 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = 2,080 hours/year.
Calculation
Hourly wage=$42,0002,080 hours=$20.19 per hour\text{Hourly wage}=\frac{$42,000}{2,080\text{ hours}}=$20.19\text{ per hour}Hourly wage=2,080 hours$42,000=$20.19 per hour
Summary
- $42,000 per year ≈ $20.19 per hour (assuming 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year).
If you work a different number of hours, let me know, and I can adjust the calculation!
