1. What is Hourly to Yearly Salary Conversion?

The hourly to yearly salary conversion calculates annual earnings based on hourly wage and typical weekly work hours. This helps compare job offers and understand full-time equivalent earnings.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard salary conversion formula:

Where:

• \( Hourly\ Wage \) — Pay rate per hour (in currency)
• \( Hours\ per\ Week \) — Typical weekly working hours
• \( 52 \) — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: The equation multiplies hourly wage by weekly hours to get weekly pay, then multiplies by 52 weeks to estimate annual earnings.
