Frequently Asked Questions
How do I account for overtime?
Multiply overtime hours by 1.5× or 2× your rate, then add the extra pay to the gross result. Our overtime calculators can automate this.
Does the calculator handle salaried pay?
Salaried workers can enter their effective hourly rate by dividing salary by annual hours worked to validate pay for extra shifts.
Can I calculate tips or commissions?
Add tips or commissions to the gross pay manually, or adjust the hourly rate to include expected tip amounts.
Does this show net (after-tax) pay?
No. The calculator outputs gross pay. Combine it with take-home pay tools to estimate net earnings after deductions.
