The adjustments that change your real number
- Unpaid time off: hourly workers without PTO who take two weeks off earn 50/52 of the table — at $25/hr that's $50,000, not $52,000.
- Overtime: five hours weekly at time-and-a-half adds about $9,750 a year at a $25 base — model yours with the overtime calculator.
- Your state: the same $52,000 nets ~$2,300 less in California than Texas. Check yours with the 50-state paycheck calculator.
