Estimate onlyThis is a paycheck planning tool, not a payroll system. Actual checks depend on employer payroll settings, W-4 choices, benefits, and local rules.
Gross and take-home estimate
Paycheck overtime calculator
Choose a pay period, enter overtime hours, and add simple paycheck deductions to estimate gross and take-home pay.
Take-home estimate
Use your own tax-rate assumptions. FICA is estimated at 7.65% and does not model wage bases or special payroll rules.

What to enter for deductions
Use pre-tax deductions for paycheck items you want removed before the simple tax-rate estimate, and post-tax deductions for amounts removed after estimated taxes.
When to use this page
This page is useful when you want to ask: if I work 5, 10, or 15 overtime hours, how much might the next paycheck change?
What this does not determine
It does not decide whether you are exempt or nonexempt, whether a specific hour legally qualifies as overtime, or whether your employer calculated payroll correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Can I estimate a biweekly paycheck?
Yes. Select Biweekly and enter a typical week of regular and overtime hours. The calculator projects the weekly result across two weeks.
Should deductions be weekly or per paycheck?
Enter deductions for the selected pay period. If you select Biweekly, enter your biweekly deduction amount.
Why is my real paycheck different?
Payroll systems use withholding tables and employer-specific benefit settings. This calculator uses a simple rate-based model for planning.

Important limits
This calculator provides estimates only. It does not decide whether you are legally entitled to overtime, whether an employer is compliant, or what your final paycheck or taxes should be. Overtime rules can vary by jurisdiction, exemption status, bonuses, commissions, employer policy, and other pay types.
