Hourly Pay Calculator
Estimate gross earnings from an hourly rate and hours worked. Add overtime when needed and see regular pay, overtime pay, and the combined total.
How to calculate hourly pay
Regular gross pay equals hourly rate multiplied by regular hours. Optional overtime pay equals hourly rate multiplied by overtime hours and the entered multiplier. The calculator adds those amounts without estimating taxes or deductions.
Regular pay = regular hours × hourly rate
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × multiplier
Hourly pay example
| Pay component | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 40 hr × $20 | $800 |
| Overtime | 5 hr × $20 × 1.5 | $150 |
| Estimated gross | $800 + $150 | $950 |

Frequently asked questions
Does this calculate take-home pay?
No. Results are gross estimates before taxes, deductions, benefits, tips, bonuses, or other adjustments.
Which overtime multiplier should I use?
Use the rate established by your employer or the rules that apply to your work. The calculator does not determine eligibility.
Can I enter part of an hour?
Yes. Enter hours as decimals, such as 7.5 for 7 hours 30 minutes. Use the Decimal Hours Calculator if your record is in hours and minutes.
Why might my pay statement differ?
A payroll system may include additional earnings, deductions, taxes, rate rules, or rounding that this simple gross estimate does not model.
