The last row is the one people forget. If a $75,000 role regularly takes 45 hours a week, the effective rate is $32.05, not $36.06 — a difference of $4.01 an hour that never appears on the offer letter. Before comparing this salary with an hourly offer, read the comparison guide and price in paid time off, overtime and benefits on both sides.
