Also, its super easy to calc your annual based on hours: just double the hourly rate and thats what you generally gross per year, i.e. $16/hour is ~32,000 per year.

So if you ever wonder, take your $160,000 per year and you are making $80 per hour... so your complaints about salary will diminish.

If you're doing that for salary->hourly rate make sure you're honest about how many hours you actually work, that math only works for 40h/week, if you're working 50, 60, or 80 hour weeks adjust accordingly.
Double the hourly rate and then add three zeros to the end (to multiply by 1000). Or if you want just 1 step, multiply by 2000.
TIL, neat trick!
