This calculation is based on 5 working days a week and 8 working hours per day. In the United States as well as some other countries, 8 working hours per day and 5 working days a week are the general rule.

A common rule is to spend up to 30% of your salary on house rent. This means if you make $100 an hour, you are spending $30 on house rent.

Of the remaining $70, you can spend 50% on groceries, transportation, health, loans and many other expenses and 20% for savings. This is considered a standard rule (50/30/20) for your earnings.

How to calculate rent on hourly wage?

Calculating rent based on your hourly income is very simple. Just, multiply your hourly wage by 2080, because if you work 40 hours a week that’s a total of 2080 hours in a year. Now convert the annual salary into monthly salary by dividing 12.
