How the math works
$9.00 × 40 hours = $360.00 a week, and $360.00 × 52 weeks = $18,720.00 a year. Monthly pay is the yearly total ÷ 12, so $1,560.00; a month averages 4.33 weeks, not 4. Biweekly pay is the yearly total ÷ 26 = $720.00. Amounts are rounded to the nearest cent.

The 45-hour row pays the 5 hours over 40 at time and a half ($13.50 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), $9 an hour comes to $18,000 a year.
Compared with the federal minimum wage
$9 an hour is $1.75 more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25, or 1.24 times as much. Full time, the federal minimum comes to $15,080 a year, so $9 an hour earns $3,640 more per year. Many states have their own minimum wage laws, and some require more than the federal rate, so check your state.
