$18 an hour is how much a year

The average US citizen makes $18.85 per hour, which is the equivalent of approximately $22,880 a year. This means that if you work 40 hours a week and 52 weeks out of the year (which would be considered full-time), then it’s possible to make over $43,000 in a calendar year. If you are interested in working more than this – say 60 hours with bonuses for overtime or other factors like commission or tips on top – then your hourly wage can go up even higher! A lot of people don’t know how much they are worth when it comes to their salary because we’re so used to receiving our paychecks every two weeks instead of getting paid by the hour.
