There are two factors to consider when converting a yearly salary to an hourly wage:
* **Total work hours per year:** This depends on the number of hours you work per week and the number of weeks you work per year. A standard full-time position in many countries assumes 40 hours per week, which translates to 2080 hours per year (40 hours/week * 52 weeks/year).
* **Pay frequency:** Some people are paid bi-weekly (every two weeks), others are paid semi-monthly (twice a month), and others are paid monthly.
Here's how much $45,000 a year translates to per hour assuming a standard full-time work schedule (40 hours/week) and weekly pay:
* **Hourly wage:** $45,000 / 2080 hours/year = $21.63 per hour
However, it's important to remember that this is just an estimate. Your actual hourly wage may be slightly higher or lower depending on the specific factors mentioned above.
