Now divide the Annual salary from Hours worked in a year to calculate the exact hourly rate:

36000 / 2080 = $17.3 Hourly Rate

Answer: The difference between salary job and the hourly job is the payment method. The Salary is paid for a fixed number of days irrespective of how many hours you have worked. Whereas, in hourly salary, you are compensated for every hour you have worked. However, both of these methods have their pros and cons. Some of them are as follows:

  1. You are paid extra for every excessive hour you have worked as an overtime time in the hourly rate, but not in a fixed salary.
  2. Incentives including health insurance, 401(k) plan, and parental leaves are allowed to salaried employees but not to hourly employees.
