What to know
Overtime is usually discussed as time-and-a-half, but the number that matters most is the take-home amount after withholding. This calculator helps turn extra hours into a practical paycheck estimate.
Enter your regular hours, hourly rate, overtime hours or extra shifts, and tax estimate. If the overtime includes night, weekend, or other differential pay, add those in advanced options.
Good to know
- Overtime is estimated using the weekly threshold you enter.
- Estimated taxes are applied to the added gross pay from the overtime or extra shift.
- Use the worth-it calculator afterward to compare the take-home amount against real-life costs.
This calculator is an estimate only. It is not tax, legal, payroll, or financial advice. Your actual paycheck can vary based on your employer, benefits, withholding, state taxes, local taxes, and payroll rules.
