Hourly Paycheck Estimate
Estimate regular pay, overtime pay, gross pay, and pay after optional deductions for one pay period.
Important estimate limitations
This workplace calculator provides an estimate only and is not legal, tax, payroll, HR, financial, accounting, or employment advice. Pay, overtime, time card, holiday pay, deductions, and final paycheck results can depend on employer policy, payroll records, tax rules, labor rules, and individual facts. Verify important results with your employer, payroll records, official labor guidance, or a qualified professional.
What This Calculator Does Not Determine
- Federal, state, or local withholding, FICA, benefits, or an actual net paycheck.
- Overtime eligibility, regular-rate adjustments, payroll compliance, or employer-specific deductions.
How this hourly paycheck estimate works
The calculator multiplies regular hours by your hourly rate, then multiplies overtime hours by your hourly rate and overtime multiplier. Optional deductions are subtracted from gross pay.
Enter all regular and overtime hours from the same pay period. The tool does not calculate tax withholding, so the final line is pay after only the deduction amount you enter, not an actual net paycheck.
Overtime Method Reminder
The default 1.5 multiplier is a common planning input for covered non-exempt federal overtime, but this calculator does not determine eligibility or the legally applicable regular rate. Bonuses, commissions, multiple rates, and other compensation can require a different analysis.
Example hourly paycheck calculation
If you earn $25 per hour, work 40 regular hours, and work 5 overtime hours at 1.5x, regular pay is $1,000 and overtime pay is $187.50.
Gross pay is $1,187.50 before optional deductions. If you enter $100 in deductions, the simplified after-deduction estimate is $1,087.50.
