Gross and take-home estimate
Start with gross overtime pay, then add simple tax assumptions to estimate take-home pay.
Use your own tax-rate assumptions. FICA is estimated at 7.65% and does not model wage bases or special payroll rules.
Advanced mode
Use this when one workweek includes more than one hourly rate and straight-time pay for all hours is already counted.
This calculator provides estimates only. It does not decide whether you are legally entitled to overtime, whether an employer is compliant, or what your final paycheck or taxes should be. Overtime rules can vary by jurisdiction, exemption status, bonuses, commissions, employer policy, and other pay types.
For a simple hourly estimate, multiply regular hours by the hourly rate. Then multiply overtime hours by the hourly rate and selected overtime multiplier. A common federal overtime multiplier is 1.5x, also called time and a half.
The take-home estimate subtracts user-entered federal, state, and local tax-rate assumptions, a simple FICA estimate, and paycheck deductions. It is built for planning, not payroll filing.
The U.S. Department of Labor explains that covered nonexempt employees generally receive overtime pay at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Use official guidance for workplace decisions.
Read the DOL FLSA overviewThe federal qualified overtime deduction focuses on the premium above the regular rate, subject to caps and income phaseout. Use the no-tax calculator for that specific estimate.
