Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate hourly pay from hours worked?

Multiply the number of hours worked by your hourly rate. For example, if you worked 40 hours at $18/hr, your gross pay is $720. If you worked overtime, those extra hours are multiplied by your overtime rate (commonly 1.5x) before adding to your regular pay total.

What counts as overtime and how is it calculated?

In the US, overtime typically applies to any hours worked beyond 40 hours in a single workweek. Overtime pay is usually 1.5 times your regular hourly rate, though some employers pay double time (2x). This calculator lets you set your own overtime threshold and multiplier to match your specific employment terms.

Should I deduct break time from my hours worked?

Yes — unpaid breaks such as lunch should be subtracted from your total hours to get your actual paid working time. This calculator lets you enter break time separately for each day so your net hours and pay reflect only the time you were compensated for.

How do I convert hours and minutes to decimal hours?

Divide the minutes by 60 and add to the whole hours. For example, 7 hours and 45 minutes equals 7 + (45/60) = 7.75 decimal hours. This calculator accepts decimal hour entries (e.g. 7.75) for easy input without needing to convert time formats manually.

How do I calculate my annual salary from an hourly rate?

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by 52 (weeks in a year). For example, $18/hr × 40 hrs/week × 52 weeks = $37,440 per year. This figure represents gross pay before any tax deductions.

Does this calculator account for taxes?

No — this calculator shows gross pay only, which is your total earnings before any federal, state, or local taxes and deductions are applied. For after-tax take-home pay estimates, you would need to factor in your filing status, allowances, and applicable tax rates.

Can I use this calculator for bi-weekly or monthly pay periods?

This calculator is designed for a standard 7-day weekly pay period. For bi-weekly pay, simply double the weekly gross pay result. For monthly estimates, multiply the weekly total by 4.33 (the average number of weeks per month).

What is the difference between gross pay and net pay?

Gross pay is your total earnings before any deductions — taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, etc. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you receive after all deductions are subtracted. This tool calculates gross pay; your actual paycheck amount will be lower based on your specific deductions.
