Formula
Regular Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Overtime Hours × Overtime Multiplier
Gross Weekly Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
Taxable Pay = Gross Weekly Pay − Pretax Deductions
Estimated Taxes = Taxable Pay × (Tax Rate ÷ 100)
Take-Home Pay ≈ Gross Weekly Pay − Pretax Deductions − Estimated Taxes
Actual withholding depends on filing status, allowances, and payroll frequency. Use official tax calculators for precise results.
Full Description
Weekly pay is the foundation of budgeting for many hourly employees. This calculator shows how your base hours, overtime, and deductions translate into gross and net pay so you can anticipate paychecks, adjust withholding, or plan savings goals. Use it when shifts fluctuate or when verifying payroll accuracy after overtime-heavy weeks.
Adjust the tax rate to reflect combined federal, state, and local withholding or run multiple scenarios to see how changes in deductions affect take-home pay.
