Salary Calculator FAQ

How do you convert hourly rate to annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks) for a standard full-time annual salary. Example: $30/hr × 2,080 = $62,400/yr. For overtime weeks, use: (40 hrs × rate) + (OT hrs × rate × 1.5) × number of weeks.

How many working hours are in a year?

Standard full-time: 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Minus 10 federal holidays (80 hrs): 2,000 paid hours. Minus 2 weeks vacation (80 hrs): 1,920 hours actually worked. BLS uses 2,080 for hourly-to-annual conversions. Turnaround and shutdown workers can exceed 3,000 hours/yr with heavy overtime.

What is time-and-a-half overtime?

Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Example: $30/hr base · regular week = $1,200 (40 hrs) · one 10-hr OT week = $1,200 + ($30 × 1.5 × 10) = $1,200 + $450 = $1,650. Double time (2×) is not federally required but common in petrochemical and union contracts.

Texas Salaries

How Texas salaries compare to the national market

Across trades, Texas gross wages run about 4–5% below the national median on paper (BLS OEWS May 2025), and this calculator applies a 0.96 Texas wage index to national medians. But because Texas has no state income tax, take-home on a Texas offer typically beats the same gross salary in higher-tax states. Metro rates vary, Houston and Dallas sit above the state average, smaller markets below.

Is a lower Texas salary actually worth more?

Often, yes. Zero state income tax plus a below-average cost of living means a Texas offer a few thousand dollars under a coastal offer can still net you more spendable income. Run the gross figure through the Texas paycheck calculator to compare take-home directly.

How does Texas pay compare to nearby states?

Texas gross medians run close to neighbours like Oklahoma and Louisiana and below higher-cost states such as California, Colorado and Washington. But with zero state income tax and a lower cost of living, Texas take-home is competitive with, and often ahead of, most of them.

How accurate is the Texas benchmark in this calculator?

The calculator applies a Texas wage index (0.96×) to national BLS OEWS medians, a reference estimate, not a quote. Published state figures differ by role and metro; for exact BLS state and city medians with percentiles, use the Texas salary guide.

What is the median trade salary in Texas?

It varies by role: the Texas electrician median is about $60,660, plumbers $61,250, HVAC technicians $58,570, and pipefitters $61,250 (BLS OEWS May 2025, Texas-adjusted). Enter your own pay in the calculator to see your percentile against any role.

How is the Texas wage index applied?

National BLS OEWS medians are multiplied by a 0.96 Texas factor to localise them, reflecting that Texas gross pay runs a few percent below the national average on paper. Hourly figures assume 2,080 paid hours a year. It is a reference estimate, not an employer offer.

Which Texas metros pay trades the most?

Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth generally sit above the Texas state median, driven by petrochemical, industrial and large commercial construction demand; smaller and rural markets run below. Check the city salary guides for metro-specific BLS medians.

Do Texas trade wages include overtime?

The benchmark medians are base pay. This calculator lets you add overtime hours at 1.5× (or 2×) to model total annual pay, common in petrochemical and union work where OT significantly raises take-home.
