Weekly pay calculator
Type your hourly rate and the hours for each day of the week. The tool estimates the week's pay and can include overtime.
Not legal, tax or payroll advice. General information only; results are estimates. Read the full notice.
Example: 46.00 h (46:00) at $18.50 an hour with overtime on gives an estimate of $906.50 before taxes ($740.00 regular plus $166.50 overtime).
Estimate based on what you entered. Not legal or payroll advice; check it against your employer's records.
How to use it
- Type your hourly rate.
- Type the hours for each day, Monday to Sunday.
- Set Overtime to On or Off.
- Read the regular pay, overtime pay and the estimated weekly pay.
Overtime in the weekly total
- The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. § 207) sets overtime pay at not less than 1.5 times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek, for employees it covers who are not exempt.
Questions
Is this my take-home pay?
No. It is gross pay, before taxes and deductions.
How is overtime counted?
With Overtime on, this calculator counts hours above 40 a week at 1.5 times the rate. Those are the federal figures cited below. They are fixed in this tool, so use the overtime calculator to change them.
Why do the day lines not show overtime?
Overtime is worked out on the weekly total, so the day lines use the regular rate only.
