The quick mental shortcut
Double your hourly rate and add three zeros. $20 an hour × 2 = 40, so roughly $40,000 a year. It works because a full-time year is about 2,000 working hours (the exact figure is 2,080).
Remember: this is before taxes
Your take-home pay will be lower after federal and state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any health insurance or retirement contributions. And if you're comparing job offers, count paid time off and benefits, not just the hourly rate.
