Net pay

A payroll calculator estimates an employee's gross and net pay for a pay period, handling both hourly wages (with overtime) and salaries, then subtracting deductions to reach take-home pay.

The maths

  • Regular pay = hourly rate × hours, or salary ÷ pay periods
  • Overtime pay = hourly rate × multiplier × overtime hours
  • Gross pay = regular + overtime
  • Net pay = gross − deductions

Examples

  • $20/hr, 40 hrs, 5 hrs OT at 1.5× = $950 gross
  • $52,000 salary paid bi-weekly = $2,000/period before deductions
  • Subtract $200 deductions to get net pay

Frequently asked questions

Are taxes included?

No — enter your combined tax and other deductions in the deductions field. Real tax depends on location, filing status and allowances, so this gives a take-home estimate after the deductions you specify.

What's a typical overtime multiplier?

1.5 times the regular rate ("time-and-a-half") is common for hours over 40 in many countries. Some roles or holidays use 2.0 ("double time").

Just for the giggles, much love.
