An estimate, not an offer or a guarantee. Projected returns assume the rate you entered holds for the whole term, which no market does.
Method and background
This is what the calculation gives for the numbers you entered. It is an estimate, not advice, and it knows nothing about your situation beyond those numbers. Rules for United States change on a published schedule; the effective date is shown on every rule-based tool.
How this is calculated
Multiply the rate by the hours and the weeks actually worked. The trap in comparing an hourly job to a salaried one is that a salaried employee is paid through holidays and sickness while an hourly one is generally not, so a like-for-like comparison has to subtract the weeks that will not be worked and price them.
