Pay & Payroll calculators, in short
Comparing jobs, checking a paycheck, or running a timesheet all need the same conversions between hourly, weekly, and annual pay. The conversion tools work in gross pay; the take-home and withholding tools carry it through to what actually reaches your account.
Popular tools in this category
- Take-Home Pay Calculator — Estimated net pay per week, fortnight, month and year — with raise and contribution scenarios and a reverse solve for the salary a target take-home needs.
- Salary to Hourly Calculator — Turn an annual salary into an hourly rate, adjusted for the hours you actually work and your paid leave.
- Hourly to Salary Calculator — Annual, monthly, biweekly, and weekly pay from an hourly rate, including regular overtime.
What can you calculate here?
- Estimated take-home pay after FICA, income tax, and pre-tax deductions
- Every line withheld from a single paycheck, and the net deposit
- An hourly rate from a salary, using the hours you actually work
- A raise in percentage, dollars per paycheck, and real terms after inflation
- Overtime and double-time pay for a week, plus the blended rate you really earned
- Shift differential pay and the blended rate overtime should use
- Weekly paid hours, overtime, and mileage reimbursement owed

Common questions about pay & payroll calculations
- Which pay calculator answers 'what will I actually get paid?'
- Take-Home Pay for the annual picture and Paycheck Withholding for a single paycheck. Salary to Hourly and Hourly to Salary convert gross pay between bases, and Time Card totals the hours a paycheck is built from.
- Are the tax figures exact?
- No. Social Security and Medicare are applied at their statutory rates, but income tax withholding depends on your filing status, credits, and state rules, so it is driven by the rate you enter. Treat the result as a close estimate and confirm against a real pay stub.
- How do I work out overtime pay for a week?
- Price the straight-time hours at your rate, then the overtime hours at the multiplier — usually 1.5. The Overtime Pay Calculator does both, prices double-time hours separately, and shows the blended rate across every hour worked.
- How is overtime meant to be calculated on a shift premium?
- Overtime is based on the blended regular rate — total straight-time pay divided by total straight-time hours — not on the base wage alone. The Shift Differential Calculator does this for you and shows the blended rate.
- Why does my hourly rate differ from salary divided by 2,080?
- Because 2,080 assumes exactly 40 hours for 52 weeks. If you work longer weeks or take unpaid time, your real hourly rate changes, which is why the conversion tools ask for your actual hours.
