100k a year is how much an hour

The average American works for about 39.5 hours a week, which means they make $21.10 an hour on their salary alone. That’s $100,000 annually if you work the standard forty-hour workweek (although that doesn’t account for overtime). So next time someone asks how much money is in your bank account or what you do with all of that cash and leisure time, just tell them it’s around 100k per year!
