To determine your hourly wage, divide your annual salary by 2,080. If you make $75,000 a year, your hourly wage is $75,000/2080, or $36.06. If you work 37.5 hours a week, divide your annual salary by 1,950 (37.5 x 52). At $75,000, you hourly wage is $75,000/1,950, or $38.46. If you get a commission for sales on top of a base salary, this can be more difficult to calculate.
1. Determine the employee's regular weekly wage. If he makes $52,000 per year, that equates to $1,000 per week. One way to calculate his hourly wage, if you only know his annual salary, is to divide his annual wage by the number of regular work hours per year--2,080 hours (52 times 40). To obtain the weekly wage, divide his annual salary by 52.
