What’s your real effective hourly rate as a teacher?

Most teachers could tell you their salary, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Your effective hourly rate shows how much you actually earn in relation to the time you spend working—a much more useful metric. Once you have your hourly rate figured out, you can do the following:

• You can identify where your time is really going.

• You can compare different responsibilities and opportunities based on what they actually pay you per hour.

• You can make smarter decisions about where to invest your time and how to increase your income.
