Frequently asked
Is this my take-home rate?
No — it's gross. After taxes and benefits, hourly take-home is lower.
What if I work part-time?
Divide your salary by your actual yearly hours. Fewer hours means a higher equivalent hourly rate.
Does PTO change this?
If your PTO is paid, no change. If you take unpaid weeks, your effective hourly rate is higher.
