Gross Pay Calculator - Hourly Pay with Overtime

Use this gross pay calculator to estimate hourly earnings before payroll deductions. Enter work times, unpaid breaks, hourly rate, overtime threshold, and overtime multiplier. The calculator totals regular hours, overtime hours, and estimated gross pay.

This is best for hourly workers or small teams checking payroll math from actual shift times. If you already know the number of regular and overtime hours, the overtime calculator may be faster. If you need annual or biweekly equivalents, use the biweekly pay calculator.

Gross Pay Formula

Regular pay = Regular hours x Hourly rate
Overtime pay = Overtime hours x Hourly rate x Overtime multiplier
Gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay

This calculator gets regular and overtime hours from the time entries. It subtracts unpaid break time first, then compares total paid hours with the overtime threshold.

How to Use the Gross Pay Calculator

Gross Pay Example

Gross pay is not the same as take-home pay. Taxes, benefits, retirement contributions, garnishments, reimbursements, and other payroll adjustments can change the final paycheck.

Gross Pay vs Net Pay

Gross pay is the starting payroll amount. Net pay is what remains after deductions. TinyBizTools currently focuses on gross hourly math because it is stable across teams and useful before payroll is submitted. Tax withholding and net paycheck calculations can vary by location, filing status, payroll period, benefits, and current tax law.
