To convert a salary of $70,000 per year to an hourly wage, you need to know the number of hours worked per week and the number of weeks worked per year. Assuming a typical full-time schedule of 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year (no unpaid time off):
-
Calculate total hours worked per year:
40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = 2,080 hours/year -
Divide the annual salary by the total hours:
$70,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = approximately $33.65 per hour
So, $70,000 a year is roughly $33.65 per hour if working full-time (40 hours/week).
