## How it calculates

The calculation for total annual income is performed using the following formula: 

Total Annual Income = Salary + (Hourly Wage × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year) 

Where: 
- Total Annual Income is the overall income received in a year. 
- Salary is the fixed annual amount paid to an individual. 
- Hourly Wage is the amount earned per hour of work performed. 
- Hours per Week is the typical number of hours worked each week. 
- Weeks per Year is generally assumed to be 52, unless specified otherwise. 

This formula combines fixed and variable income sources, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of total earnings. By inputting the relevant values, users can obtain an accurate estimation of their financial situation over the course of a year.

## Who should use this

1. Freelance graphic designers calculating their annual income based on project rates and hourly work. 
2. Retail employees determining total earnings from a mix of hourly wages and commissions. 
3. Part-time educators assessing their yearly pay from both teaching contracts and tutoring sessions. 
4. Construction workers estimating annual income from multiple job sites with varying hourly rates.

## Worked examples

Example 1: A freelance graphic designer earns an annual salary of $30,000 and charges $25 per hour for additional projects, working on average 10 hours a week. 

Total Annual Income = Salary + (Hourly Wage × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year) 
= $30,000 + ($25 × 10 × 52) 
= $30,000 + $13,000 
= $43,000 

Example 2: A retail employee has a fixed annual salary of $20,000 but earns an additional $15 per hour for 20 hours a week. 

Total Annual Income = Salary + (Hourly Wage × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year) 
= $20,000 + ($15 × 20 × 52) 
= $20,000 + $15,600 
= $35,600 

These examples illustrate how varied income sources can be combined to calculate total annual earnings accurately.

## Limitations

1. The calculator assumes a fixed number of weeks worked per year (52 weeks), which may not account for unpaid time off or leave. 
2. It does not consider taxes or other deductions that may impact actual take-home pay, which can significantly affect financial planning. 
3. The calculator does not accommodate for fluctuating hours or seasonal work, which can lead to inaccuracies in annual income projections. 
4. The tool does not factor in additional income sources such as bonuses or investments, which may also contribute to total income.
