How much is $15 an hour per year?
Multiply $15 by 40 hours to get $600 a week, then by 52 weeks to get $31,200. The same result comes from $15 x 2,080, the number of paid hours in a standard full-time year.
$15 an hour per month
Divide the yearly $31,200 by 12 and you get $2,600 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 $1,200.
What if you work fewer or more hours?
At 30 hours a week, $15 an hour is $450 a week and $23,400 a year. At 45 hours a week it is $675 a week and $35,100 a year, though many hourly jobs pay overtime above 40 hours, which this page does not include.
Where this number comes from
$15 sits in the middle of the common hourly range, and every extra dollar an hour is worth $2,080 a year at full time. These are gross figures. Income tax, payroll tax and benefits are not taken out, so your take-home pay will be lower.
