FAQ
- How many working hours are in a year?
A 40-hour week over 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, the number behind the standard conversion: hourly rate times 2,080 gives the annual salary. Three 12-hour shifts a week make 1,872 hours, so the same rate earns less over the year.
- What's the difference between biweekly pay and twice-a-month pay?
Biweekly means a paycheck every two weeks, 26 a year. Twice a month means two fixed paydays, usually the 15th and the last day, 24 a year. The biweekly check is smaller for the same salary, but two months a year bring three of them.
- Does the calculator show pay before or after taxes?
Before taxes. Every figure is gross pay. Take-home depends on your state, filing status, and deductions like health premiums or retirement contributions, so when you compare offers, compare them gross on the same schedule.
- Are 36 hours a week considered full-time?
In hospitals, usually yes: three 12-hour shifts count as full-time for benefits at most facilities. The 0.8 FTE preset here uses the 40-hour base and sets 32 hours; some hospital employers count FTE from a 36-hour base instead.
