Weekly Pay Calculator

How this calculation works

Weekly pay is your gross earnings for a single FLSA workweek. For non-exempt employees, the calculation is straightforward: regular hours × hourly rate, plus overtime hours × 1.5 × hourly rate.

The 40-hour threshold is federal law. Some states impose stricter daily thresholds — California pays 1.5× after 8 daily hours and 2× after 12.

How this Weekly Pay Calculator works — 2026 guide

Weekly paychecks are the rhythm of hourly work in America — restaurants, warehouses, retail, and healthcare all favor them because they make overtime easier to track. This 2026 weekly pay calculator turns an hourly rate and a workweek of hours into an exact gross paycheck, automatically applying 1.5× FLSA overtime for any hours past 40.

How to use it in 3 steps

2. Add any hours past 40 — the calculator applies 1.5× automatically per federal FLSA.
3. Read your gross weekly pay, with the regular and overtime portions broken out for budgeting.
