Gross Pay Calculator

Combine regular pay, overtime pay, and an optional bonus into a single gross pay figure. This is the right tool when your check has more than one component and you want a clean total before taxes.

Use it when your check has overtime and a bonus and you want to see how the parts add up before taxes, when you are budgeting around a quarterly or annual bonus, or when you are auditing a stub and the gross line does not match what you expected from the hours alone.

Gross is regular pay (rate times regular hours) plus overtime pay (rate times overtime hours times the multiplier) plus the bonus amount. Each component is reported separately so you can see how the total was built and compare against the line items on a stub.

Gross pay is what shows up at the top of a paycheck. Net pay is what lands in your bank account. The Net Paycheck Estimator on this site gives a rough take-home figure if you know your effective tax percentage. Use this gross calculator first, then feed the gross into the net estimator.

$22 an hour for 40 regular hours plus 5 overtime hours at 1.5x plus a $200 bonus equals $880 plus $165 plus $200, or $1,245 gross. Removing the bonus drops the total to $1,045. Switching the overtime multiplier to 2 for a double-time week pushes the total to $1,300.

Bonuses are taxable. Many employers withhold supplemental income at a flat 22 percent federal rate, but your final tax depends on your bracket and other income. The gross figure is correct, but the net you actually see on a bonus stub may feel small because of that flat withholding rate. Bonuses are taxed as ordinary income even when withheld at the 22 percent supplemental rate, so the take-home portion of a bonus is usually smaller than people expect after federal, state, and FICA are applied.
