How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work per week, then by the number of paid weeks in a year. For a standard full-time schedule that is hourly × 40 × 52. A $25/hour wage equals $52,000 gross per year.

What is Arizona's state income tax rate?

Arizona uses a single flat income tax rate of 2.5% for all earners as of 2023. It is one of the lowest flat state income tax rates in the country, so your Arizona state withholding is small relative to most states.

What is FICA and how much is it?

FICA is the combined Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) payroll tax, totalling 7.65% of wages on the employee side. Social Security applies up to an annual wage cap; Medicare has no cap and adds 0.9% on very high earnings.

Does this include overtime?

Only if you build it into your weekly hours. Enter your average paid hours per week including any regular overtime. The tool treats every entered hour at the same rate, so blend in overtime manually if your rate differs.

Is this my exact paycheck?

No. It is a close estimate using the flat 2.5% Arizona rate, simplified federal brackets, and standard FICA. Your real paycheck depends on allowances, benefits, retirement contributions, and other withholdings on your W-4.

Knowing your hourly rate is only half the picture — what matters is the annual salary it adds up to and how much of that you actually keep. This tool converts any hourly wage into gross yearly pay, then applies Arizona’s flat 2.5% income tax, federal income tax, and FICA to estimate your real take-home pay.

How it works

The conversion from hourly to salary is straightforward:

gross annual = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year

A full-time worker at $25/hour for 40 hours over 52 weeks earns $52,000 gross.

From gross pay, three main taxes come out. Arizona applies a flat 2.5% state income tax to taxable income — one of the lowest flat rates in the U.S. Federal income tax is graduated, applied here using simplified 2024 brackets after the standard deduction. FICA takes 7.65% (6.2% Social Security up to the wage cap plus 1.45% Medicare with no cap).

Example

At $30/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks: gross is $62,400. Arizona’s 2.5% flat tax on income after the standard deduction is roughly $1,250. Federal tax for a single filer is roughly $5,800, and FICA is about $4,774. Net take-home lands near $50,500 per year, or about $1,940 every two weeks.

Notes

This is an estimate. It uses the flat 2.5% Arizona rate and simplified federal brackets, and assumes the standard deduction. Pre-tax retirement contributions, health premiums, and other W-4 settings change the result. Always check your actual pay stub for the precise withholding amounts.
