$47 an hour is how much a year?

$47 an hour is $97,760 a year before tax, assuming you work 40 hours a week across all 52 weeks of the year ($47 × 40 × 52). That's $8,147 a month or $1,880 a week before deductions.

After federal and Ontario provincial tax, plus CPP and EI, your take-home pay is about $76,754 a year — roughly $6,396 a month, or an effective $37 an hour. Other provinces have different tax rates.

From hourly rate to yearly salary

Converting your hourly wage to an annual salary makes it easier to compare offers, budget, and plan ahead. The annual figure shown assumes full-time hours over 52 weeks, though your real income depends on your province, your guaranteed hours, and vacation pay.

What counts as full-time?

Full-time work in Canada is typically 37.5 to 40 hours per week. Most provinces require employers to provide vacation pay — usually 4% of earnings, rising with years of service — which hourly workers receive on top of their wage, an important factor when comparing to a salaried role.

Overtime and extra hours

Overtime rules vary by province, but most require 1.5 times the regular rate after a daily or weekly threshold (often 8 hours a day or 40-44 a week). If you regularly work overtime, your actual annual earnings will exceed the straight-time figure calculated here.
