How much is $12 an hour per year?
Multiply $12 by 40 hours to get $480 a week, then by 52 weeks to get $24,960. The same result comes from $12 x 2,080, the number of paid hours in a standard full-time year.
$12 an hour per month
Divide the yearly $24,960 by 12 and you get $2,080 a month. Some months have four paychecks and some five, so a weekly or two-weekly pay schedule will not match this figure exactly every month. Two weeks of work at this rate is $960.
What if you work fewer or more hours?
At 30 hours a week, $12 an hour is $360 a week and $18,720 a year. At 45 hours a week it is $540 a week and $28,080 a year, though many hourly jobs pay overtime above 40 hours, which this page does not include.
Where this number comes from
At $12 you are below the $15 mark that many employers use as an entry-level benchmark, so a $1 raise matters: it adds $2,080 a year. These are gross figures. Income tax, payroll tax and benefits are not taken out, so your take-home pay will be lower.
