How much is $40 an hour after taxes?
Federal tax is the same everywhere in the US; state tax is not. These four scenarios show the range a single rate can produce at 40 hours a week.

What $40 an hour means in practice
A $40 hourly rate is $1,600 a week gross, so a biweekly paycheck shows $3,200 before deductions. At 2,080 hours a year the annual figure is $83,200 — 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 $31,200 a year at this rate, while moving from California to Texas recovers $3,661 of state tax at 40 hours. Working 20 hours a week instead cuts gross pay to $41,600, but the effective tax rate drops to 85.6%.
