annual salary

Twelve months' compensation

Annual salary is the total amount of money an employee earns in a year, typically expressed as a fixed sum regardless of hours worked: Her annual salary is $85,000.

Unlike hourly wages, salaried workers receive the same pay each period whether they work forty hours or sixty.

Annual salary usually excludes bonuses, commissions, and benefits, though job listings sometimes advertise "total compensation" that bundles these together.
