Your gross pay is calculated first — for hourly workers, multiply regular hours by your rate, and add overtime (hours over 40/week) at 1.5× the regular rate. Salary workers simply divide annual salary by the number of pay periods.
Employers withhold federal income tax from each paycheck based on your W-4 elections. This calculator estimates withholding using 2024 tax brackets and the standard deduction for single filers. Your actual withholding may differ based on W-4 allowances, additional withholding, and credits.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt hourly workers must be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states (like California) require daily overtime for hours over 8. This calculator uses the federal standard.
