Your gross weekly pay is the total amount you earn in one week before taxes or deductions. The formula depends on how you are paid:

• Hourly workers: Hourly Rate × Hours Worked Per Week
• Salaried workers: Annual Salary ÷ 52 weeks
• Daily rate workers: Daily Rate × Days Worked Per Week
• Monthly paid workers: Monthly Salary × 12 ÷ 52

Example: $20/hr × 40 hrs = $800 gross weekly pay. A $52,000 salary ÷ 52 = $1,000 per week. If your employer pays every two weeks instead, use our biweekly pay calculator to see your per-paycheck amount. To find out what you actually take home after taxes and deductions, our net pay calculator shows your real earnings once everything is subtracted.

Both full-time and part-time workers receive weekly pay based on actual hours worked and their hourly rate. Key differences:

• Full-time workers typically work 35–40 hours per week and may receive benefits like paid vacation, health insurance, and retirement contributions.
• Part-time workers are paid for fewer hours and may have a different benefits package.
• Some employers define full-time at 32 hours per week — always confirm your contract.
• If you work more than your scheduled hours, you may be entitled to overtime pay.

Gross weekly pay is your total earnings before any deductions are removed. Net pay — or take-home pay — is what actually arrives in your bank account each payday.

Common deductions that reduce gross to net include:

• Income tax (rate depends on your country and tax band)
• National insurance or social security contributions
• Health or medical insurance premiums
• Pension or retirement contributions
