Pro tip. You can ballpark hourly wage to an annual income by multiplying by 2,000 (or doubling then multiplying by 1000).

So $37.62/hr works out roughly to about 75k/year, pre-tax. Not exact, just a rule of thumb. Works out to within a few % usually.

It's a fairly precise "rule of thumb", on the theory that you work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. Parent comment inflates the salary by assuming 45 hours a week 52 weeks a year.
