1. What Is My Salary Calculator?

The What Is My Salary Calculator estimates annual salary from hourly rate and weekly hours worked. It provides a quick and accurate way to convert hourly wages to annual income for budgeting and financial planning purposes.

Where:

• \( Hourly \) — Hourly wage rate (currency/h)
• \( Hours/Week \) — Hours worked per week (h)
• \( 52 \) — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: The formula multiplies the hourly rate by the weekly hours to get weekly pay, then multiplies by 52 weeks to calculate annual salary.
