GROSS PAY
What is gross pay?
Gross pay is the total amount you earn before taxes and payroll deductions are taken out. Depending on your job, gross earnings can include regular wages, overtime pay, double-time pay, bonuses, commissions, tips, and other compensation.
Gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime + Double time + Bonuses +
Commissions + Tips + Other earnings
For example, if your paycheck shows $1,500 in gross pay, that $1,500 is the amount before income taxes, payroll taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, or other deductions are removed.
GROSS VS NET PAY
Gross pay vs net pay: what is the difference?
The simplest difference is that gross pay is before deductions, while net pay is after deductions. Net pay is also commonly called take-home pay.
Gross pay
Your total earnings before taxes and payroll deductions.
Net pay
The amount that remains after applicable taxes and other deductions.
Gross pay − Taxes − Benefits − Other deductions = Net pay
Is gross pay before or after taxes?
Gross pay is before taxes. If your employer reports a gross paycheck of $2,000, taxes and other deductions are generally taken from that amount before your net paycheck is determined.
Gross salary vs net salary
Gross salary describes annual compensation before taxes and deductions. Net salary describes what remains after applicable deductions. Two employees with the same gross salary can have different take-home amounts because their deductions may differ.
Gross wages vs net wages
The same idea applies to hourly workers. Gross wages represent earnings before deductions, while net wages are the amount actually received after deductions.
HOW IT WORKS
How to calculate gross pay for hourly employees
Start by multiplying your hourly rate by your regular hours worked. Calculate overtime separately using the overtime multiplier that applies to you, then add any additional earnings.
Regular pay = Hourly rate × Regular hours
Overtime pay = Hourly rate × Overtime multiplier × Overtime hours
Overtime pay = Hourly rate × Overtime multiplier × Overtime hours
Example: $25/hour with 5 overtime hours
At $25 per hour for 40 regular hours, regular pay is $1,000. Five overtime hours at 1.5 times the regular rate add $187.50. The estimated gross pay is therefore $1,187.50 before taxes and deductions.
Example with a bonus and commission
Suppose you earn $20 per hour for 40 regular hours, receive a $150 bonus, and earn $200 in commission during the pay period. Regular pay is $800 and the bonus plus commission add $350, producing $1,150 in gross pay.
Gross pay by pay period
This calculator supports weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay periods. It also annualizes the current result using 52 weekly, 26 biweekly, 24 semi-monthly, or 12 monthly pay periods.
