Multiply your hourly wage by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. Formula: Hourly Rate × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year = Annual Salary. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000/year. Don't forget to account for unpaid vacation time if you don't get paid time off.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at 1.5x their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states have additional rules — California requires overtime after 8 hours in a day and double time after 12 hours. Exempt employees (salaried managers, professionals) typically do not qualify for overtime.
On average, 20-30% of gross pay goes to federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and state income tax (varies). For a $60,000 salary, expect roughly $45,000-$48,000 in take-home pay annually. Use our Take-Home Pay Calculator with your specific state and deductions for a precise estimate.
Standard annual raise: 3-5% (cost of living adjustment). Performance-based raise: 5-8%. Promotion: 8-15% or more. If you're switching jobs, 10-20% is typical. In high inflation years, 5-7% may be needed just to maintain purchasing power. Always research market rates for your role using sites like Glassdoor, PayScale, or the BLS.
It depends on your situation. Health insurance can be worth $8,000-$15,000/year. A 401(k) match of 4-6% is essentially free money. Remote work can save $4,000-$12,000/year in commute costs. More PTO has real value too. Use our Job Comparison calculator to factor in all these elements and see the true total compensation difference.
It depends on your priorities. W-2 employees get benefits, employer-paid payroll taxes (7.65%), unemployment insurance, and legal protections. 1099 contractors pay self-employment tax (15.3%), buy their own benefits, but can deduct business expenses and often earn higher rates. As a rule of thumb, contractors should charge 25-40% more per hour to break even with a W-2 employee after taxes and benefits.
The federal minimum wage remains $7.25/hour as of 2026, unchanged since 2009. However, 30+ states and many cities have higher minimum wages. For example, California is $16.50+/hour, Washington is $16.50+/hour, and New York is $15.50-$16.50/hour depending on region. Always check your state and local minimum wage laws.
1. Research market rates for your role, experience, and location. 2. Quantify your value — revenue generated, costs saved, projects led. 3. Practice your pitch with specific numbers. 4. Consider the full package — base salary, bonus, equity, benefits, remote work. 5. Have a BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) — another offer or willingness to walk. 6. Get it in writing once agreed.
