$30 an Hour Is How Much a Year?
$30 per hour at 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year equals $62,400 gross annually.
The calculation
Annual gross pay = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. For $30 an hour: 30 × 40 × 52 = $62,400. That is $5,200 per month, $2,400 per biweekly paycheck and $240 per 8-hour day, all before tax.

If you work overtime
Under US federal rules, non-exempt employees are generally paid 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week. At $30 an hour that is $45.00 per overtime hour. Five overtime hours every week would add $11,700 a year and bring gross pay to about $74,100. Try the overtime calculator.
