Purpose
Convert an hourly rate and work schedule into annual and common pay-period gross amounts. Educational only.
Formulas
- Regular annual = hourly rate × hours/week × weeks/year
- OT annual = hourly rate × OT multiplier × OT hours/week × weeks/year
- Annual total = regular annual + OT annual
- Monthly = annual ÷ 12
- Biweekly = annual ÷ 26
- Weekly = annual ÷ weeks/year
What we intentionally leave out
- Taxes, FICA, benefits, and net pay (see paycheck calculator)
- FLSA exempt vs non-exempt classification rules
- Shift differentials, double-time thresholds, and complex OT policies
- Unpaid leave, PTO cash-out, and holiday premiums beyond the fields you type
