$31 an hour is how much a year?

$31 an hour is $64,480 a year before taxes, if you work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours). That works out to $5,373.33 a month or $2,480.00 every two weeks.

How the math works

$31.00 × 40 hours = $1,240.00 a week, and $1,240.00 × 52 weeks = $64,480.00 a year. Monthly pay is the yearly total ÷ 12, so $5,373.33; a month averages 4.33 weeks, not 4. Biweekly pay is the yearly total ÷ 26 = $2,480.00. Amounts are rounded to the nearest cent.

$31 an hour at different weekly hours

The 45-hour row pays the 5 hours over 40 at time and a half ($46.50 an hour), the federal overtime rule for non-exempt employees. All rows assume 52 paid weeks. With two unpaid weeks off (50 weeks at 40 hours), $31 an hour comes to $62,000 a year.

Compared with the federal minimum wage

$31 an hour is $23.75 more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25, or 4.28 times as much. Full time, the federal minimum comes to $15,080 a year, so $31 an hour earns $49,400 more per year. Many states have their own minimum wage laws, and some require more than the federal rate, so check your state.
