How to Calculate an Average Hourly Wage

    • 1). Calculate the amount that you make each year. This needs to be the gross amount before taxes or other deductions. For example, if you are paid $2,000 a month, you would multiply that amount by 12 to factor your yearly income. If you are paid every two weeks, multiply your salary by 24. If weekly, then your salary would be multiplied by 52.

    • 2). Calculate the number hours you generally work each week. You will then multiple those hours by 52.

    • 3). Divide the amount that you make per year by the number of hours you work each year. The result will be your average hourly pay. For example, if you make $2,000 a month, that results in $24,000 per year. Assuming you work a 40 hour week, you would divide $24,000 by 2,080 (40 hours x 52 weeks), which calculates to $11.53 an hour.
