How This Paycheck & Overtime Calculator Helps
This calculator helps estimate gross pay based on an hourly rate, regular hours, and optional overtime hours. It is useful when you want a quick estimate of weekly earnings before taxes, payroll deductions, benefits, retirement contributions, insurance, or other withholdings.
Overtime is calculated at time and a half, or 1.5 times the hourly rate. The calculator also estimates monthly and yearly income by using the weekly gross pay result.
Paycheck & Overtime Example
For example, if you earn $20 per hour, work 40 regular hours, and work 5 overtime hours, your regular pay would be $800 and your overtime pay would be $150. Your estimated weekly gross pay would be $950.
This is a gross estimate only. Your actual paycheck may be lower after taxes, insurance, deductions, retirement contributions, garnishments, unpaid breaks, time clock rules, or employer payroll policies.
