To find out how much 48,000 a year is per hour, we need to know how many hours are worked in a year. A common assumption is a full-time job with 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year:
- Hours per year = 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = 2,080 hours/year
Now, divide the annual amount by the hours per year: 48,000 ÷ 2,080 = approximately 23.08 per hour So, $48,000 a year is about $23.08 an hour based on a typical full-time schedule.
