Based on 40 hrs/week · 2,080 hrs/year
Gross pay before tax and deductions. Note the difference between bi-weekly (26 paycheques a year) and semi-monthly (24) — bi-weekly gives you two months a year with three paycheques.
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks. The common shortcut for full-time work is hourly × 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks).

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you're paid per year. At 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks, the shortcut is: hourly rate × 2,080.
What is $25 an hour annually?
At 40 hours a week with paid vacation, $25 an hour works out to $52,000 a year before tax. If your vacation is unpaid and you take two weeks off, it drops to $50,000.
What's the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay?
Bi-weekly means every two weeks — 26 paycheques a year, so two months each year contain three paydays. Semi-monthly means twice a month — 24 paycheques a year, each slightly larger. The annual total is identical.
