How to Estimate Your Weekly Pay
Weekly gross pay comes from two parts: your regular pay and your overtime pay. Regular pay is your regular hours multiplied by your hourly rate. Overtime pay is your overtime hours multiplied by your hourly rate and the overtime multiplier (1.5x for time and a half is the federal standard).
Example: You earn $20/hr, work 40 regular hours, and pick up 10 overtime hours at 1.5x. Regular pay is 40 x $20 = $800. Overtime pay is 10 x $20 x 1.5 = $300. Your weekly gross pay is $800 + $300 = $1,100.
Turning Weekly Pay Into Monthly and Annual Estimates
There are 52 weeks in a year. To project your annual income, multiply your weekly gross pay by 52. For a monthly figure, multiply by 52 and divide by 12.
It is tempting to multiply weekly pay by 4 to get a month, but a month averages about 4.33 weeks, not 4. Using a flat 4 leaves out roughly four weeks of pay across the year. The 52 divided by 12 method spreads the full year evenly and gives a closer monthly number. Keep in mind that these projections assume you work the same hours every week, so a slow week or extra overtime will shift the real total.
Understanding Overtime: Time and a Half vs. Double Time
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees earn overtime once they pass 40 hours in a workweek, paid at no less than 1.5x their regular rate. That 1.5x rate is what most people call time and a half.
Double time (2x) is less common. Federal law does not require it, but some states and employers do. California, for example, mandates double time after 12 hours in a single workday and on the seventh consecutive day worked. Many employers also pay 2x for holidays. State rules can differ from the federal standard, including daily overtime thresholds, so check your state's rules and your employer's policy.
Gross Pay vs. Take-Home Pay
This tool estimates gross pay, the amount you earn before anything is withheld. Your take-home pay (net pay) will be lower once federal, state, and local taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions are subtracted.
Use the weekly gross figure here as a planning baseline, then run a paycheck or net-income calculator to estimate what actually reaches your bank account. These results are estimates only and are not tax or legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about weekly pay estimator
How do I calculate my weekly pay?
Multiply your regular hours by your hourly rate, then add overtime hours multiplied by your rate and the overtime multiplier. At $20/hr with 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at 1.5x, that's (40 x $20) + (5 x $20 x 1.5) = $800 + $150 = $950 gross for the week.
How is overtime pay calculated?
Take your hourly rate, multiply by the overtime multiplier (the FLSA default is 1.5x, or time and a half), then multiply by overtime hours worked. At $20/hr, each overtime hour pays $30. For a full breakdown, try the overtime calculator (/tools/overtime-calculator/).
What is the difference between gross pay and net pay?
Gross pay is your total earnings before anything is taken out. Net pay (take-home pay) is what lands in your account after federal, state, and local taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions. This estimator shows gross pay.
How do I convert weekly pay to monthly or annual income?
For annual income, multiply weekly pay by 52 (the number of weeks in a year). For monthly income, multiply weekly pay by 52 and divide by 12. A weekly gross of $950 works out to roughly $4,117 per month and $49,400 per year.
Why use 52 weeks divided by 12 instead of multiplying weekly pay by 4?
A month is not exactly four weeks. There are 52 weeks across 12 months, which averages about 4.33 weeks per month. Multiplying weekly pay by a flat 4 leaves out roughly four weeks of pay each year, so the 52 divided by 12 method gives a closer monthly estimate.
When am I entitled to overtime pay?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn overtime for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states add daily overtime rules: California, for example, requires overtime after 8 hours in a single day. Check the overtime rules by state page (/tools/overtime-rules-by-state/) for your area.
What is double time and when does it apply?
Double time means you are paid 2x your regular hourly rate. Federal law does not require it, but some states and employers do. California mandates double time after 12 hours in a workday and for the seventh consecutive day worked. Many employers also pay it on holidays.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
No. The Weekly Pay Estimator shows gross pay, the amount before taxes and deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower. Use a paycheck or net-income calculator to estimate what you actually keep after withholding.
