How it works
One pay rate, every useful time period.
Start with the pay figure you know, customize the schedule, then add the tax rules that apply to your situation.
- 01
Enter a gross pay rate
Choose whether the amount is hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or annual.
- 02
Match the work schedule
Set scheduled hours, working days, paid weeks, and optional hourly overtime.
- 03
Build optional tax brackets
Enter your allowance and marginal bracket thresholds to compare gross and estimated take-home pay.
Flexible pay planning
Gross and take-home estimates without hidden bracket assumptions.
Custom work year
Account for part-time schedules, unpaid weeks, and hourly overtime instead of relying on a hidden standard schedule.
Your own tax brackets
Add, remove, and edit progressive thresholds and rates, include an allowance, and inspect the tax charged in every band.
Salary questions
Understand the assumptions behind the estimate.
How do I convert hourly pay to annual salary?+
Multiply the hourly rate by scheduled hours per week and paid weeks per year, then add any recurring overtime. For example, $25 × 40 × 52 equals $52,000 before overtime.
Can this calculate take-home pay after tax?+
Yes, when you enter the progressive brackets and allowance that apply to you. The result is a planning estimate because the tool does not automatically know your jurisdiction, filing status, credits, social contributions, benefits, or special tax treatment.
Why can I change paid weeks per year?+
A 52-week setting suits continuously paid work. Reduce it when modeling unpaid leave, seasonal work, or a contract that does not pay for every week.
How is biweekly pay calculated?+
The tool divides the chosen paid weeks by two to estimate the number of two-week pay periods. A standard 52-week year produces 26 periods.
Is overtime included for salaried pay?+
Optional overtime is available when the starting rate is hourly. Salaried overtime eligibility and calculation rules differ, so they are not assumed.
How are progressive tax brackets calculated?+
Each rate applies only to taxable income between its starting threshold and the next threshold. Entering a higher bracket does not apply that rate to all income.
