    "context": "The 2,080 shortcut assumes no unpaid time off. If you get two weeks unpaid vacation, use 2,000 hours instead ($25/hour = $50,000). Going the other way — salary to hourly — divide by 2,080, but remember salaried-exempt roles don't pay overtime, so a $60,000 salary with regular 50-hour weeks is really $23/hour, not $28.85. Compare job offers on after-tax, after-benefits numbers: employer health coverage and 401(k) match can be worth $5–10/hour.",
