Pay & Payroll calculators

Salary and hourly conversions, timesheet totals, and reimbursement math for employees and the people who pay them.

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.

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.
