| Scenario | Federal | FICA | State | Take-home / year | / month |

What $100 an hour means in practice
A $100 hourly rate is $4,000 a week gross, so a biweekly paycheck shows $8,000 before deductions. At 2,080 hours a year the annual figure is $208,000 — the same number you would negotiate as a salary, so use it when comparing an hourly offer to a salaried one.
Two things move take-home pay more than the rate itself: overtime hours, and the state you live in. Ten extra hours a week at time and a half adds $78,000 a year at this rate, while moving from California to Texas recovers $15,267 of state tax at 40 hours. Working 20 hours a week instead cuts gross pay to $104,000, but the effective tax rate drops to 78.8%.
