How to Use This Calculator

Enter your hourly rate and the number of hours you work in a typical week — your gross weekly wage appears immediately. Open the gear menu for more options: turn on overtime pay to apply a higher rate above a set weekly threshold, enable deductions to estimate take-home pay after taxes or withholdings, switch the currency symbol, or display a rough annual estimate based on your weekly figure. If you'd rather start from your total hours instead of a rate, calculate weekly pay directly.

What Is a Weekly Wage?

Your weekly wage is simply your hourly rate multiplied by the hours you work in that week. It's the figure most hourly workers use to budget paycheck to paycheck, since weekly hours can vary more than a fixed salary. If you're paid every two weeks or twice a month instead, this weekly figure is still the easiest starting point — just multiply by however many weeks fall in your pay period. For a deeper look at hours specifically, the weekly earnings calculator breaks down regular and bonus pay separately.

Accounting for Overtime

Many hourly jobs pay extra once you cross a weekly hours threshold — commonly 40 hours, with overtime paid at 1.5× your normal rate (sometimes called "time and a half"). Turn on the overtime switch in the options menu, confirm the threshold and multiplier match your employer's policy, and the calculator splits your pay automatically into regular hours at your base rate and overtime hours at the higher rate, then adds them into your final weekly figure.

Why Deductions Matter

Your gross weekly wage is what you earn before anything is taken out; your net wage is what actually reaches your bank account after taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, and other withholdings. Since exact deduction amounts depend on your location, filing status, and benefits elections, this calculator uses a simple flat percentage you can adjust yourself — useful for a quick estimate, though your actual pay stub may differ. For a closer look at how many hours fed into that figure, try calculate weekly pay.

Turning a Weekly Wage Into a Bigger Picture

Once you know your weekly wage, scaling it up is straightforward: multiply by 52 for a rough annual figure, or by however many pay periods apply to your situation. Keep in mind real annual income rarely lines up perfectly with a 52-week multiplication, since unpaid time off, holidays, or schedule changes can shift the total. Use the annual estimate toggle here for a fast ballpark, and cross-check any precise figure against calculate weekly pay or your own pay records, especially around tax season. The weekly earnings calculator is also useful if your week includes tips, bonuses, or commission on top of your base hourly pay.

Tips for Accurate Results

Use your actual scheduled hours, not a rounded guess — even half-hour differences add up over a year. Enter your hourly rate to the cent if you can, since small rate differences compound across many hours. If your hours vary week to week, run the calculator with a few different weeks (a slow week and a busy week) to get a realistic range rather than relying on a single average. Re-check the overtime threshold and deduction percentage periodically, since both can change with a new job, a raise, or a new tax year. For a hours-first approach, calculate weekly pay alongside this tool to cross-check your numbers.
