Hourly Paycheck Calculator
Estimate your net take-home pay from an hourly wage after federal tax, state tax, and FICA.
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.
