How the calculator works
- Yearly pay before tax: your hourly rate × hours a week × weeks a year, plus overtime hours at 1.5× your rate.
- Take-home pay: we run that yearly pay through the same federal, state and payroll tax rules as our paycheck calculator, for a single filer with no pre-tax deductions.
For 401(k) contributions, health premiums, children or a different filing status, use the paycheck calculator, which also accepts hourly pay.

Overtime
Most hourly employees get at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week. At $25 an hour, 5 hours of overtime a week every week adds $187.50 a week, or $9,750 a year, to the $52,000 from a 40-hour week.
From 2025 to 2028, the extra half of overtime pay can also be deducted from federal taxable income, which this calculator includes. See the no tax on overtime calculator.
Salary to hourly
To turn a salary into an hourly rate, divide it by the hours you work in a year. Full-time at 40 hours a week, that’s 2,080 hours:
| Salary | Hourly rate |
|---|---|
| $40,000 | $19.23 |
| $50,000 | $24.04 |
| $60,000 | $28.85 |
| $75,000 | $36.06 |
| $100,000 | $48.08 |
Useful when comparing an hourly job with a salaried one. The job offer calculator compares two offers after tax, including benefits.
Part-time and unpaid time off
Working fewer hours, or taking unpaid weeks off, lowers your yearly pay: change the hours a week or the weeks a year in the calculator. Two weeks of unpaid vacation means 50 weeks of pay. If your vacation and holidays are paid, keep it at 52.
