About the Hourly Paycheck Calculator

The Hourly Paycheck Calculator gives you an instant answer from just a few inputs — hourly rate, hours per week, state, and more. It runs entirely in your browser, so the numbers you enter stay private and never touch a server, and the result recalculates the moment you change a value. It's free to use with no sign-up, no limits, and nothing to install.

Worth Knowing

Converting an hourly wage to take-home pay requires assumptions about hours worked and whether any overtime applies, since overtime is typically 1.5× the base rate. The same three deductions — federal tax, state tax, and FICA — apply as for salaried workers. Because hourly income can swing week to week, withholding based on a single check can over- or under-estimate your annual tax, so treat the annualized figure as a rough guide rather than a guarantee.

How to Use

  1. Enter Hourly rate into the first field of the Hourly Paycheck Calculator.
  2. Fill in the rest: Hours per week, State, Filing status.
  3. Your result appears instantly as you type — there's no submit button or page reload.
