Calculate gross pay
Gross pay is earnings before taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, and other deductions. Overtime eligibility and rates can vary by job and jurisdiction.
What is gross pay?
Gross pay is the total amount earned before payroll deductions. Depending on the job, it can include regular wages, overtime, bonuses, commissions, tips, and other eligible earnings.
Gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay + Double-time pay + Bonuses + Commissions + Tips + Other earnings
How to calculate gross pay for hourly employees
Start by multiplying the hourly rate by regular hours worked. Calculate overtime separately using the applicable overtime multiplier, 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, producing $1,187.50 in gross pay before any additional earnings.

Gross pay vs. net pay
Gross pay is your earnings before deductions. Net pay, often called take-home pay, is what remains after applicable taxes and other deductions. This calculator intentionally focuses on gross pay so it does not duplicate a tax or take-home-pay calculator.
