Is 50000 a desired salary for a teenager?

How much should a teenager make in a year

A minimum wage job working full time pays about $15,000 depending on the state that you work in.

If you are in high school, working a part-time job, it's likely you will earn about $3000 per year.

Depends on what you're doing. $50,000 is a good salary for someone starting out in a career with a college education. If you make $50,000/year as a teenager, that's awesome. Most "normal" teenager jobs will get you about $20,000-$30,000/year.

50,000 what? US dollars? Most adults working full-time in the US don't make that much. The average US family makes about that much. Teenagers should expect to get minimum wage jobs (except for a few outliers, generally ranging from $7.25 to about $8.50 an hour, depending where you live, in the US). Assuming you're still in school, and you average ten hours a week, that would be $3,770 to $4,420 a year. Even at $10 an hour for 20 hours a week, you'd make $10,400 in a year.

Now, if you live in a different country and are talking a different monetary unit, the whole picture changes. But, either way, you'd multiply the number of hours you'd expect to work in a week by a reasonable hourly rate multiplied by 52 weeks in a year to get an expected annual pay.

Most likely. It entirely depends on the job and hours. If you are working close to minimum wage then yes 50k is great considering many adults make 30-40 thousand. If your job is specialized then 50k or more makes sense.
