How to calculate pay from an hourly wage
Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work in a week, add any overtime, then scale up to the year and take off unpaid days.
Weekly pay = (Wage × Regular hours) + (Wage × 1.5 × Overtime hours)
Annual pay = Weekly pay × 52 − (Daily pay × Unpaid days off)
Example: $20 an hour with 5 hours of overtime a week
- Regular pay: $20 × 40 = $800
- Overtime pay: $20 × 1.5 × 5 = $150
- Weekly pay: $950; yearly: $950 × 52 = $49,400
If the same worker also takes 10 unpaid days off, each day is worth $20 × 8 = $160, so the year drops by $1,600 to $47,800. The calculator assumes overtime is worked every week of the year; if yours is occasional, enter your weekly average.
How to find your hourly wage from a paycheck
If you know what a paycheck paid and how many hours it covered, you can work backwards to your rate. Without overtime, simply divide pay by hours. With overtime, each overtime hour counts as 1.5 hours of pay:
Hourly wage = Gross pay ÷ (Regular hours + 1.5 × Overtime hours)
Example: $1,700 for 80 regular hours and 5 overtime hours
$1,700 ÷ (80 + 1.5 × 5) = $1,700 ÷ 87.5 = $19.43 an hour, with an overtime rate of $29.14. Make sure you use gross pay (before taxes) from your pay stub, not the amount deposited in your bank.

Hourly pay basics
- Minimum wage. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, but many states and cities set a higher one, and the higher rate applies.
- Overtime. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt hourly workers get at least time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek. Use the time and a half calculator for a single week in detail.
- Paid time off. Paid holidays and vacation don’t reduce your yearly pay, so don’t enter them as unpaid days off.
- Hourly vs. salary. Comparing a job offer quoted as a salary? The salary to hourly calculator converts it to an hourly rate.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are gross pay, before taxes and deductions. See your take-home pay with the net pay calculator.
- Overtime is applied to the hours you enter, at the multiplier you choose. The calculator doesn’t decide whether you are legally owed overtime.
- Biweekly and monthly figures are the yearly total divided by 26 and 12, so individual paychecks vary with the hours you actually work.
