Hourly vs. Salaried Employment Trade-Offs in the US
A common benchmark in the US is the 2,080-hour rule (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). Doubling an hourly wage gives an approximate salary in thousands (e.g., $40/hr is roughly $80,000/yr).
However, salaried exempt roles often do not qualify for FLSA overtime pay, while hourly workers receive mandatory 1.5x pay for hours worked over 40. Keep benefits, PTO, and health insurance in mind when comparing compensation structures.
Frequently Asked Questions
