Weekly Pay Calculator
Calculate gross weekly pay from an hourly rate and explicit paid hours per week.
Use this for a gross weekly pay comparison when the hourly rate and paid schedule are known.
What the result means
The result is hourly gross pay multiplied by paid hours. It does not add overtime, premiums, tips, tax, leave, or unpaid preparation time.
The formula
Hourly rate * paid hours per week
Results are displayed to at most two decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded inputs.
A worked example
Put the formula to work
- Hourly rate (currency per hour)
- 30
- Paid hours per week (hours)
- 40
Estimated gross weekly pay (input currency): 1,200.00
30 per hour for 40 paid hours gives 1,200 gross weekly pay.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the gross hourly rate.
- Enter paid hours for one week.
- Multiply rate by hours.
- Check overtime and unpaid time outside this estimate.
