Turning hours into gross pay
For hourly work, gross pay is regular hours at your rate plus any overtime at a higher multiplier. This calculator combines the two into a single figure, so you can check a paycheck or estimate earnings quickly.
It keeps regular and overtime pay separate in the breakdown, which makes it easy to see how much the overtime premium is actually worth.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your regular hours and hourly rate.
- Add any overtime hours and the overtime multiplier.
- Read the regular, overtime, and total gross pay.
What the inputs mean
- Overtime multiplier
- The premium on overtime hours, commonly 1.5, sometimes 2 for certain shifts.
- Hourly rate
- Your base pay per regular hour, which the overtime rate is built from.
40 regular hours at $22 plus 2 overtime hours at 1.5× gives $880 + $66 = $946 gross for the week.
The formula, in plain terms
Gross pay is regular hours times rate, plus overtime hours times rate times the multiplier.
Frequently asked questions
Is this take-home pay?
No. It is gross pay before tax and deductions, which depend on your location and circumstances.
What overtime rate should I use?
It depends on your employer and local rules. Time-and-a-half (1.5×) is the most common default.
