Paycheck math for hourly workers
Hours past the overtime threshold are paid at the overtime rate automatically.
1.5× is time & a half — the standard overtime rate. 2× is double time.
Gross pay before taxes and deductions. Overtime rules vary by state and employer — California, for example, pays daily overtime after 8 hours.
Per paycheck — health insurance, union dues, etc.
Estimate only, using 2025 federal brackets and the standard deduction (single $15,750 · married filing jointly $31,500), plus Social Security 6.2% (up to $176,100 of wages) and Medicare 1.45%. Your real check depends on your W-4, state, and benefits — this gets you close, not exact.
