$25 an Hour Is How Much a Year?

$25 per hour at 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year equals $52,000 gross annually.

The calculation

Annual gross pay = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. For $25 an hour: 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000. That is $4,333 per month, $2,000 per biweekly paycheck and $200 per 8-hour day, all before tax.

If you work overtime

Under US federal rules, non-exempt employees are generally paid 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week. At $25 an hour that is $37.50 per overtime hour. Five overtime hours every week would add $9,750 a year and bring gross pay to about $61,750. Try the overtime calculator.
