Did this calculation save you time?
Student ProjectHi! I'm a student developer building Calculat in my spare time. I was tired of searching for basic math tools and having to click through 10 spammy popups, loan ads, and cookie trackers.
I keep this website 100% free, private, and ad-free. If this helped you with your homework, project, or finances today, bookmarking this page or telling a friend helps me keep building more free tools!
The Hourly Paycheck Calculator converts your hourly wage and worked hours into an accurate take-home paycheck, factoring in federal withholding, FICA, and state tax deductions.
\text{Annual Gross} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times 2,080 \text{ hours}Full-time work equals 40 hours per week times 52 weeks, totalling 2,080 work hours per year.
Scenario: An hourly wage of $28/hour working full-time (40 hours/week, bi-weekly pay).
Bi-Weekly Gross: 80 hours × $28 = $2,240.
Annualized Gross: $2,240 × 26 = $58,240.
Bi-Weekly Taxes (Single): ~$410.
Net Bi-Weekly Check: $2,240 - $410 = ~$1,830.
Double the hourly rate and add three zeros. For example, $30/hour is roughly $60,000 per year ($30 x 2,080 = $62,400).
Overtime pay may be withheld at a higher rate on that specific paycheck, but excess withholdings are fully refunded when you file your annual tax return.
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, though many states and municipalities mandate significantly higher minimum rates (e.g., $16.00+ in CA, NY, and WA).
Under federal law, short breaks lasting 5 to 20 minutes are considered compensable work time and must be paid.
