The standard working week for a full-time employee in the USA is 40 hours. You may get paid for 52 weeks per year, or you may receive two weeks of unpaid leave per year, meaning you get paid for 50 weeks of the year, instead of 52.

Salary = $15 * 40 * 52 = $31,200

If you work more than 40 hours per week, we look at figures including overtime further down the article. You can also use our hourly to salary calculator to work out an annual salary based upon different figures for hours per week and weeks per year.

What does the average US worker earn per hour?

The average hourly pay of an American worker is $27.45, as of June 2022 1. It's worth remembering that average hourly pay will vary for different industries. For example, the average hourly pay in the hospitality industry is around $16, compared to over $40 in the utilities industry.

How your yearly pay compares with others

You earn 47.4% of the $65,836 average US salary. 2 Remember, though: it only takes a handful of billionaires to push the national average way higher than the norm. That's why it makes more sense to look at the median salary figure instead, for comparison. The median - or middle - salary of a US worker in 2022 is $53,924, which is $1,037 per week. You earn 57.9% of the median national salary. 3 If you get paid a 1.5 rate for working more than 40 hours, your time and a half rate is $22.50 per hour. Here’s what your income would look like with an extra 5, 10, 15 or 20 hours at a 1.5 hourly rate... Hours/week Extra $/week Extra $/year Total 45 hour week $112.50 $5,625 $36,825 50 hour week $225 $11,250 $42,450 55 hour week $337.50 $16,875 $48,075 60 hour week $450 $22,500 $53,700

A word of advice

Our calculator and guide is a fun, easy way to work out your ‘on-paper’ salary, based on your hourly wage. But, please don't base any major financial decisions on the figures alone. We can give you a good indication of your annual salary, but you’ll also need to think about sick days, family leave, overtime, taxes and all the other fun things that affect work and pay. Your income tax will depend upon your circumstances and the state in which you live - every state taxes its employees differently. So, you should keep that in mind. You can see the current income tax rates and brackets for different states on this page from Tax Foundation. If you're intending to start saving towards a goal and want to know how long it might take, we have a guide and calculator to assist you.

Summary

An hourly wage of $15 equates to a yearly salary of $31,200 for someone working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year, or $30,000 if you take 2 weeks of unpaid leave (50 weeks per year). These figures are pre-tax, don't take into account for overtime or sick pay and assume you work the same number of hours every week. For serious advice on your finances, spending and saving strategies, we recommend speaking with a qualified financial advisor.
