Understanding Your Salary
Salary conversions help you compare job offers presented in different pay periods. An hourly rate of $36/hour equates to roughly $75,000 annually at 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year.
Gross vs Net Pay
Gross pay is your salary before deductions. Net pay (take-home) is what you actually receive after federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). The estimated taxes above include FICA (7.65%) plus your entered federal and state rates.
Salary vs Hourly: Key Differences
Salaried employees receive a fixed amount regardless of hours worked. Hourly employees are paid for actual hours and typically receive overtime pay (1.5x) for hours beyond 40/week. Salaried positions often include benefits like health insurance, retirement contributions, and paid time off that increase total compensation by 20-30%.
