Understanding Hourly to Yearly Conversions
When comparing a freelance hourly rate to a full-time corporate salary, the math involves more than just a simple multiplication. Most full-time positions are calculated based on a standard 2,080-hour work year (40 hours per week for 52 weeks).
How the Calculation Works
The core formula used by our calculator is:
Yearly Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × (Weeks per Year – Unpaid Weeks)
Real-World Examples
Entry Level: $20/hour at 40 hours/week = $41,600/year.
Mid-Level: $45/hour at 40 hours/week = $93,600/year.
If you are moving from a W2 employment position to a 1099 contract role, remember that your "gross" yearly rate needs to cover expenses that employers typically pay, such as:
Self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare).
Health, dental, and vision insurance premiums.
Retirement contribution matches.
Unpaid time off for sickness or vacation.
A common rule of thumb for contractors is to add 25-30% to their desired W2 hourly rate to maintain the same standard of living.
