5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: No, this calculates base salary only. Overtime would increase annual earnings beyond this estimate.

Q4: Should I use gross or net hourly wage?
A: Use gross (pre-tax) hourly wage for this calculation to get gross annual salary.

Q5: What if my hours vary each week?
A: Use your average weekly hours for a rough estimate, or calculate based on different scenarios.
