How much would you make an hour to get 50 thousand a year?

Answer 1

That depends how many hours you work in a year.

Assuming a whole year of work with no unpaid holidays, that's 52 weeks. Full-time employment is anywhere from 35 hours per week (in France) to sixty hours per week (for a professional, business executive, or small business owner) or even more (e.g. someone working two jobs). Let's take a forty-hour week as typical. 52 paid weeks per year at a nominal 40 hours per week is 2080 hours per year.

50 000 monetary units divided by 2080 hours is 24.04 monetary units per hour.

If you are French and only work a 35 hour week you need €27.47 per hour to make €50,000 per year. If you are a German and work 48 hours per week you need only €20.43 per hour to make €50,000 per year. This is considered very unfair.

40% of Korean men with full-time jobs work longer than 56 hours per week.
