How the Hourly Paycheck Calculator Works
Enter Your Hourly Rate
Input your gross hourly wage and the number of hours worked per week. Overtime (hours beyond 40/wk) is automatically calculated at 1.5× your base rate.
Choose Pay Frequency
Select whether you are paid weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. We calculate exact pay-period gross and apply withholding per period.
See Per-Paycheck Net
Your exact take-home per paycheck is shown — after federal tax, state tax for your chosen state, Social Security, Medicare, and all pre-tax deductions.
Overtime Pay Rules & Calculation
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× their regular rate of pay for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states (like California) have daily overtime rules — 1.5× after 8 hours/day, 2× after 12 hours/day. Our calculator uses the standard federal FLSA rule.
Regular Time
Hours 1–40 per week at your base hourly rate
Overtime
Hours 41+ per week at 1.5× your base hourly rate
Double Time
Some states require 2× pay after 12 hrs/day
