How this is calculated
At $18 per hour and a full-time schedule of 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, gross annual pay is $37,440 before tax and deductions (18 × 40 × 52). Monthly gross is about $3,120 and biweekly gross is about $1,440.
This page starts at $18/hour but lets you adjust hours and weeks if you work part-time or take unpaid time off. All figures are gross — not take-home pay.
After you know the gross total, estimate taxes with the paycheck calculator or a state page such as Texas or Florida.
For after-tax estimates, continue to the paycheck calculator or take-home pay calculator.
Annual gross = $18 × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = $37,440 (adjust inputs for your schedule)
