Below is a chart for people who work full time based on 48, 50, or 52 weeks per year. For reference, there are 168 hours/week and 8736 hours/year. A person who works full time for 50 weeks/year and 40 hours/week will work a total of 2000 hours. So, if you work 2,000 hours per year and make $40 per hour, you will make $80,000 per year.

Calculate Another Hourly Rate?
What If You Don’t Get Paid Time Off?
If you don’t get paid vacation, let’s assuming you are working 50 weeks of the year (with 2 weeks unpaid time off). And we’ll assume you work an average of 40 hours per week.
40 hours multiplied by 50 weeks is 2,000 working hours in a year.
Now simply multiply your hourly rate by the number of working hours in the year.
$40 per hour multiplied by 2,000 working hours per year is an annual income of $80,000 per year.
How Many Working Days Are In A Year (2020)?
For a more accurate calculation, you can calculate EXACTLY how many working days are in the year.

- 104 Weekend Days (woohoo!)
Assuming your are working each weekday, 8 hours per day, here is how many hours you will work:
262 work days multiplied by 8 hours per day is 2,096 working hours in 2020
$40 an hour multiplied by 2,096 working hours is $83,840 income per year
*This does not include any overtime hours worked
