Hourly Pay Calculator

Estimate gross pay from an hourly rate and hours you already know — regular hours plus optional overtime hours — without building a schedule or applying OT thresholds.

Pay settings

Hours

Decimal hours (e.g. 37.5). You enter OT hours yourself — no threshold split.

Enter rate and hours, then press Calculate to see estimated gross pay.

How it works

An hourly pay calculator is rate-first arithmetic: multiply your wage by regular hours you already know, then optionally price extra premium hours at 1.5× (Simple) or a multiplier you type (Custom). It never invents premium hours from daily or weekly cutoffs and never asks for a schedule. Enter wage, currency, and regular hours as a decimal; add premium hours if you have them; Calculate for a pre-tax estimate.

Results are pre-tax planning figures — not a net paycheck. If you still need to discover how many premium hours exist inside a single worked total, use the Overtime tool’s cutoff logic instead of typing those hours here.

Quick steps

  1. Enter wage and currency.
  2. Enter already-known regular hours as a decimal.
  3. Optionally type already-known premium hours.
  4. Keep Simple for a 1.5× premium, or Custom for your multiplier.
  5. Press Calculate for a pre-tax total (not net paycheck math).

When to use this tool

Choose Hourly Pay when a timesheet, manager, or prior step already separated straight-time versus premium quantities. If those quantities are still unknown inside one lump sum, use cutoff allocation first. If the missing piece is assembling clock pairs into a week, start on the schedule tool.

Think of this screen as paycheck-stub arithmetic: wage, straight-time quantity, optional premium quantity, and a multiplier ladder (1.5× or custom). Nothing here invents the premium quantity from policy cutoffs.

Worked example

Example: $20 wage × 37.5 regular hours → about $750 pre-tax. Add 5 already-known premium hours at 1.5× → $150 premium pay and about $900 combined. No cutoff discovery happens here — not tax or payroll advice.

Methodology & assumptions

Pre-tax pay = (wage × regular hours) + (wage × premium hours × multiplier). Premium hours are typed inputs — this tool does not derive them from daily or weekly cutoffs. No tax, deductions, or net paycheck. See calculation methodology.

FAQ

How does the Hourly Pay Calculator estimate gross pay?
It multiplies your hourly rate by regular hours you enter, then optionally adds overtime hours at 1.5× (Simple) or a custom multiplier you set. You supply OT hours directly — it does not split totals from thresholds.
How is this different from the Overtime Calculator?
Overtime is threshold-first: you enter a total worked time and daily/weekly thresholds to allocate regular vs OT buckets. Hourly Pay is rate × hours: you already know regular and optional OT hours.
Does a share link include my rate or hours?
No. Hourly Pay share links keep mode, currency, and OT multiplier settings only — not your rate, regular/OT hour inputs, or gross estimate.
