$12.02/hr
$25,000 a year is $12.02 an hour at 40 hours a week. That is $2,083 a month, $480.77 a week, or $961.54 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.
$25,000 ÷ (40 hours × 52 weeks) = $25,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $12.02 an hour
Gross, before tax and deductions — take-home is materially lower everywhere. Note also that $961.54 every two weeks is 26 payments a year, not 24: two months each year contain three paydays.
