|---|---|---|
| Per hour | $30 | your rate |
| Per day (8 hours) | $240 | $30 x 8 hours |
| Per week (40 hours) | $1,200 | $30 x 40 hours |
| Every 2 weeks (80 hours) | $2,400 | $30 x 80 hours |
| Semi-monthly (24 checks a year) | $2,600.00 | annual / 24 |

Part-time hours at $30 an hour
Fewer weekly hours scale the numbers straight down - each row is $30 x hours x 52 weeks, before tax.
| Hours a week | Per week | Per year (gross) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | $600 | $31,200 |
| 25 | $750 | $39,000 |
| 30 | $900 | $46,800 |
| 35 | $1,050 | $54,600 |
| 40full time | $1,200 | $62,400 |
If you take unpaid time off: with 2 unpaid weeks (50 paid weeks instead of 52), $30 an hour comes to $60,000 a year instead of $62,400.
Overtime at $30 an hour
For overtime-eligible jobs, hours past 40 in a week pay time and a half - 1.5x your rate, or $45.00 an hour at $30. A worked example: 5 overtime hours every week for a year is 260 OT hours, which pays $11,700 on top of your regular $62,400 - a gross total of $74,100.
Overtime is taxed like the rest of your pay - it can nudge your effective rate up slightly, but extra hours always leave you with more after tax.

The assumptions behind these numbers
- Full-time hours: 40 a week for all 52 weeks = 2,080 paid hours a year, the standard payroll assumption.
- Taxes: single filer taking the standard deduction, 2026 federal income tax + Social Security + Medicare + state income tax. No 401(k)/HSA, credits, or local city taxes.
- Gross vs take-home: "gross" is pay before anything is withheld; "take-home" (net) is what actually lands in your account after those taxes.
- These are estimates, not tax advice. For your exact situation, use thetake-home pay calculator.
