Here is one calculation for you. A salary of $38,000 equates to a monthly pay of $3,167, weekly pay of $731, and an hourly wage of $18.27. But the issue is NOT so simple as you can see below.
The situation is a little more complicated so here goes:

Lots of assumptions, say you work 40 hrs per week if you work full time. Then there is the question of how many weeks vacation time or how much overtime, etc.




Almost all employers consider standard "work days" as Monday-Friday. So a typical full-time employee works 40 hours per week. Sometimes the is an extra day. Here is how that works.
There are more than 52 weeks in a year: 52 X 7 = 364, but a year ( not including leap year) has 365 days. So that extra day may fall on a Saturday or a Sunday, or it may be a work day.




If the extra day lands on Saturday or Sunday, then the number of work hours = 2080
If it lands on Monday through Friday, then the number of work hours = 2088


Now we can divide 38000 by 2080 or 38000 by 2088 to find the hourly salary.


These calculations are for the United States and may not work in other countries.


To make it a little more complicated consider this:
A normal work week for most jobs is 8 hours a day for 5 days.
As we said , there are 52 weeks in a year. It is common for workers get a two week vacation. So, 8 X 5 X 50 = 2000 hours worked in a year.
In addition, some companies also give 10 holidays, which brings it down to 8 x 5 x 48 = 1920.

So you might want to divide 38000 by 1920 =19.79
Many companies also give 5 days of sick/personal time per year, which brings it down to 8 x 5 x 47 = 1880. Now you would need to divide

So you might want to divide 38000 by 1880 =20.21


So as you can see, there are too many unkowns to give a definite answer.

A different answer:

If you were thinking about how much that is in a average hour
than excluding leap years that would average a total of
8760 hours in a year so 38000:8760=4.337899543 per hour.
