$20.00 an hour is how much a year?
$41,600/yr
$20.00 an hour is $41,600 a year at 40 hours a week. That is $3,467 a month, $800.00 a week, or $1,600.00 every two weeks.
How it is worked out
A 40-hour week over 52 weeks is 2,080 hours a year. That is the standard convention, and it is a convention rather than a fact: it counts holiday and leave as worked time, so the hourly figure is what the salary works out to, not what an hour at the desk is worth.
$41,600 ÷ (40 hours × 52 weeks) = $41,600 ÷ 2,080 hours = $20.00 an hour
Gross, before tax and deductions — take-home is materially lower everywhere. Note also that $1,600.00 every two weeks is 26 payments a year, not 24: two months each year contain three paydays.
