To calculate the annual salary from an hourly wage of $18 per hour, you can use the following method:

Calculation

1. Assume full-time hours:
   Typically, full-time work is about 40 hours per week.

2. Calculate weekly earnings:
   $18/hour × 40 hours/week = $720/week

3. Calculate annual earnings:
   There are 52 weeks in a year, so:
   $720/week × 52 weeks/year = $37,440/year

Summary

• $18 per hour is approximately $37,440 annually before taxes and deductions, assuming a standard 40-hour workweek and no unpaid time off.

If you work more or fewer hours, or have unpaid leave, your annual earnings will differ accordingly.
