Weekly Gross Pay: —

How do you convert hourly to weekly pay?

Converting hourly to weekly pay means multiplying an hourly wage by the hours worked in one workweek to find gross weekly earnings. Gross pay is the amount earned before any deductions such as federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance, or retirement contributions. Weekly gross pay is a useful number for comparing job offers, building a household budget, checking a paycheck, or estimating what a schedule change will be worth.

The biggest variables are the number of regular hours and whether any overtime was worked. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states, including California, also require daily overtime after a set number of hours in one day, so your employer's count of overtime hours may differ from a simple over-40 rule. Part-time workers, people with variable shifts, and anyone paid bi-weekly may want to calculate a typical week first and then multiply it out. Unpaid breaks, shift differentials, tips, and bonuses can also change actual pay, so the result is an estimate, not a pay stub.

To use this tool, enter your hourly rate, your regular hours for the week (40 by default), and any overtime hours (0 by default). The calculator multiplies regular hours by your rate, multiplies overtime hours by 1.5 times your rate, and adds the two together. The result is your estimated weekly gross pay. For example, $22 an hour for 40 regular hours plus 4 overtime hours gives $880 + $132 = $1,012. For take-home pay, subtract taxes and deductions separately.

How to convert hourly pay to weekly earnings

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week. For a standard 40-hour week the formula is simple: Weekly pay = Hourly rate × Hours worked

If you work overtime — hours over 40 in a week — those hours are paid at 1.5x your regular rate under US federal law. Add them separately: Total = (40 × rate) + (OT hours × rate × 1.5)
