Yes, hourly earning in the US is customarily gross earning (before taxes).
The median rule of hourly earnings to yearly earnings is 40 hours/week and 50 weeks/year, which results in every $1/hour == $2000/year in earnings.
For $15/hour, that's about $30,000. For a single person in California, without dependents and claiming themselves for one exemption, it would be 4,264.50 (14.22%) in Federal taxes and 579.35 (1.93%) in State taxes for a total of 4,843.85 (16.15%) in taxes.

- theandrewbailey 8y ago50 paid weeks per year. If you're lucky, you have paid holidays and paid vacation time.
- AngryData 8y agoMany people in the US don't even get that. Having two weeks vacation is usually waved in peoples faces as an incentive not to leave after a few years of full time employement.
