$29 an Hour Is How Much a Year?
The standard conversion is hourly rate × 2,080 — 40 hours a week for all 52 weeks. Real years are often shorter: with two weeks of unpaid time off, $29/hour earns $58,000, and at 48 paid weeks it is $55,680. Salaried jobs with paid vacation keep the full $60,320, which is one hidden difference when comparing an hourly offer against a salary.

After taxes: what $29/hour actually pays
On $60,320 gross, a single filer taking the 2026 standard deduction pays $5,058 federal income tax, $3,740 Social Security, and $875 Medicare. In the nine states with no income tax that leaves $50,647 a year — $4,221 a month, an effective rate of 16%, and a real hourly take-home of about $24.35. State income tax lowers that further, down to roughly $45,923 in Oregon.

Overtime and raises at $29/hour
Non-exempt hourly workers earn time and a half past 40 hours a week: $43.50/hour at this rate. A steady 5 overtime hours a week adds about $11,310 a year before taxes — often more than a typical annual raise. Speaking of raises: +$1/hour is +$2,080 a year gross, of which a single filer at this level keeps roughly $1,671 after federal tax and FICA. The 12% bracket only applies to the new dollars — a raise never lowers the take-home on pay you already earn.
