To calculate how much $42,000 per year is per hour, you need to know how many hours are worked in a year. The standard full-time work year is typically based on:
- 40 hours per week
- 52 weeks per year
Step-by-step calculation:
- Calculate total hours worked per year: 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = 2,080 hours/year
- Calculate hourly wage: $42,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $20.19 per hour
Final answer:
$42,000 per year is approximately $20.19 per hour (assuming a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks per year).
