$30 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, $30/hour earns $60,000, and at 48 paid weeks it is $57,600. Salaried jobs with paid vacation keep the full $62,400, which is one hidden difference when comparing an hourly offer against a salary.

After taxes: what $30/hour actually pays
On $62,400 gross, a single filer taking the 2026 standard deduction pays $5,308 federal income tax, $3,869 Social Security, and $905 Medicare. In the nine states with no income tax that leaves $52,318 a year — $4,360 a month, an effective rate of 16.2%, and a real hourly take-home of about $25.15. State income tax lowers that further, down to roughly $47,412 in Oregon.

Overtime and raises at $30/hour
Non-exempt hourly workers earn time and a half past 40 hours a week: $45.00/hour at this rate. A steady 5 overtime hours a week adds about $11,700 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.
