The hourly wage equivalent of an annual salary depends on the number of hours worked per year. Typically, the calculation assumes 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, totaling 2080 working hours annually. For example:
- If the annual salary is $150,000, the hourly wage is approximately $72.12 ($150,000 ÷ 2080 hours).
- If the annual salary is $100,000, the hourly wage is about $48.08 ($100,000 ÷ 2080 hours).
The average hourly wage in the United States as of mid-2025 is around $36.44 per hour, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
