My weeks · save & compare

Optional. Saves the calculator above, not shift scenarios.

A midweek check isn’t saved automatically. Use only completed work for the period you’re checking; save your finished weekly totals when ready.

One entry per week ending and pay type; saving again updates it. Only weeks you explicitly save count. A saved $0 week counts; unsaved weeks never lower your average. Start date is your earliest saved week ending.

Shift changed? Compare your options

How to calculate overtime pay

For time and a half after 40 hours, pay the first 40 hours at the regular rate and the remaining hours at 1.5 times that rate. Add the two amounts to get weekly gross pay. If the week has fewer than 40 hours, every entered hour stays at the regular rate.

Weekly gross = regular hours × hourly rate + overtime hours × hourly rate × multiplier. This assumes the selected threshold and multiplier apply to your work.

Example: $40 an hour for 53.5 hours

Time and a half after 40 hours
Part of the weekCalculationGross pay
Regular hours40 × $40$1,600
Overtime hours13.5 × $60$810
Total53.5 hours$2,410

With the same hours and double time after 40, the total would be $2,680. With no overtime premium it would be $2,140. Choosing the applicable rule matters more than the label on a paycheck.

Enter minutes as decimal hours

Divide minutes by 60, then add the full hours. Thirty minutes is 0.5 hours; 15 minutes is 0.25; 45 minutes is 0.75. A 37-hour, 30-minute week is 37.5, not 37.30.

Which overtime option should I choose?

Choose 1.5× after 40, 2× after 40, no overtime, Sunday double time, or a custom threshold and multiplier. The calculator applies your selection; it does not establish legal eligibility. Federal rules, state rules, daily overtime, contracts, bonuses and differentials can change the amount owed. This simple rate calculation does not implement every regular-rate adjustment.

For federal eligibility information, see the U.S. Department of Labor overtime guidance.

Is this my take-home paycheck?

No. The main result is gross pay before taxes and deductions. The optional take-home feature uses withholding observed on a previous paycheck and deductions you enter. Its assumptions appear beside the result.

What if a shift changes?

Open Shift changed? to compare losing hours, picking up a shift, or doing both. You can enter another hourly rate or a fixed shift payment. The comparison is a scenario; change your actual weekly entries before saving a completed week.

Does annual pace predict my yearly income?

Annual pace repeats the current week 52 times. An unusually strong overtime week can overstate your usual income. Optional saved weeks provide an average of the weeks you actually save.
