How this calculation works

Weekly pay is your gross earnings for a single FLSA workweek. For non-exempt employees, the calculation is straightforward: regular hours × hourly rate, plus overtime hours × 1.5 × hourly rate.

The 40-hour threshold is federal law. Some states impose stricter daily thresholds — California pays 1.5× after 8 daily hours and 2× after 12.

How this Weekly Pay Calculator works — 2026 guide

Weekly paychecks are the rhythm of hourly work in America — restaurants, warehouses, retail, and healthcare all favor them because they make overtime easier to track. This 2026 weekly pay calculator turns an hourly rate and a workweek of hours into an exact gross paycheck, automatically applying 1.5× FLSA overtime for any hours past 40. Type your numbers and the math runs in your browser, instantly, with no signup and nothing stored on a server.

How to use it in 3 steps

  1. Enter your hourly rate and the regular hours worked in the week (the calculator caps regular pay at 40 hours).
  2. Add any hours past 40 — the calculator applies 1.5× automatically per federal FLSA.
  3. Read your gross weekly pay, with the regular and overtime portions broken out for budgeting.

Who this is for

Weekly-paid hourly workers building a budget, managers estimating labor cost for an extra shift, and new hires decoding their first paycheck stub. For the bigger picture, the [biweekly pay calculator](/tools/biweekly-pay-calculator/) handles 26-check years, and the [monthly pay estimator](/tools/monthly-pay-estimator/) translates the same wages into a monthly plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does weekly overtime kick in?
Under federal FLSA, overtime is owed for every hour over 40 in a single workweek at 1.5× your regular rate. Daily overtime (e.g., over 8 hours a day) applies only in certain states like California.
What is a "workweek" under FLSA?
A workweek is a fixed, recurring period of 168 hours — seven consecutive 24-hour days. It does not have to align with the calendar week, but it must be consistent.
