Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by 52 (weeks per year). For example, $28.85/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $60,007 annually. This calculator does this automatically for any pay period you enter.
What is the difference between gross and net (take-home) pay?
Gross pay is your total earnings before any deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you receive after federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) are withheld. Other deductions like health insurance premiums, 401(k) contributions, and local taxes are not included in this estimate.
How accurate is the tax estimate?
The tax estimate is based on 2026 US federal tax brackets and approximate state income tax rates. It does not account for standard or itemized deductions, tax credits, pre-tax retirement contributions, health insurance premiums, or local taxes. Use it as a rough guide — consult a tax professional or use IRS Form W-4 for accurate withholding.
What is FICA tax?
FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) tax funds Social Security and Medicare. Employees pay 6.2% of wages up to $168,600 for Social Security and 1.45% of all wages for Medicare. Employers match these contributions. Self-employed individuals pay both the employee and employer shares (15.3% combined), known as self-employment tax.
What is bi-weekly vs semi-monthly pay?
Bi-weekly means paid every two weeks — 26 pay periods per year. Semi-monthly means paid twice a month (e.g., the 1st and 15th) — 24 pay periods per year. The bi-weekly paycheck is slightly smaller but you receive two extra paychecks per year compared to semi-monthly.
How is overtime calculated?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked over 40 per week. Some employers offer double time (2×) for overtime or work on holidays. Enter your hourly rate and overtime hours in the overtime section to see your weekly earnings including overtime pay.
