Weekly Pay Formulas Explained
Hourly Rate to Weekly Pay
- Basic: Hourly Rate x Hours/Week
- With Overtime: (Regular Hours x Rate) + (OT Hours x OT Rate)
- Example: $20/hr x 40 hrs = $800/week
- With 5 OT hours: (40 x $20) + (5 x $30) = $950/week
The Overtime Calculator handles more complex overtime scenarios.
Annual Salary to Weekly Pay
- Formula: Annual Salary / 52 weeks
- Example: $65,000 / 52 = $1,250/week
- IRS Standard: 2,080 hours = 52 weeks x 40 hrs
- Note: Some years have 53 pay periods for weekly-paid employees
To convert back, use the Hourly to Salary Calculator.
Daily Rate to Weekly Pay
- Formula: Daily Rate x Days Worked per Week
- Example: $250/day x 5 days = $1,250/week
- Part-time: $250/day x 3 days = $750/week
- Note: Daily rates are common for contractors and day laborers
For daily pay from an annual salary, use the Daily Pay Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my weekly pay from an hourly rate?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week. For example, $20/hr x 40 hours = $800 per week gross. This is your gross weekly pay before any tax withholding or deductions. If you work overtime hours, those are paid at a higher rate (usually 1.5x) and added on top.
How do I convert an annual salary to weekly pay?
Divide your annual salary by 52 weeks. For example, $52,000 / 52 = $1,000 per week. This gives you gross weekly pay. The IRS standard work year is 2,080 hours (40 hrs/week x 52 weeks). For a faster conversion, use the Salary to Hourly Calculator.
What is the difference between gross weekly pay and net weekly pay?
Gross weekly pay is your total earnings before any deductions. Net weekly pay is what you actually take home after federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and any other deductions are withheld. This calculator shows gross weekly pay only. To estimate your net weekly pay, use the Take-Home Pay Calculator.
How is overtime included in weekly pay?
Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5x their regular rate for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. For example, if you earn $20/hr and work 45 hours, your weekly pay is (40 x $20) + (5 x $30) = $800 + $150 = $950. This calculator lets you enter overtime hours and choose the applicable multiplier (1.5x, 2x, or 3x).
What is the federal minimum wage weekly pay in 2026?
The federal minimum wage remains $7.25/hr as of 2026 under the FLSA. At 40 hours per week, the minimum weekly gross pay is $290. Many states and cities have higher minimum wages. For example, California's minimum wage is $16.50/hr in 2026, producing a weekly minimum of $660. Always check your state's current minimum wage.
How many weeks are in a year for pay calculation purposes?
There are 52 weeks in a standard year. Some calendar years have 53 Fridays or 53 Mondays, which can result in an extra pay period for employees paid on a weekly or biweekly schedule. Most annual salary conversions use 52 weeks as the standard divisor. For biweekly pay comparisons, use the Biweekly Pay Calculator.
Does weekly pay include paid time off?
For salaried employees, paid time off and paid holidays are included in the annual salary and are reflected in the weekly pay amount. For hourly employees, PTO is only paid if your employer provides paid leave. This calculator shows gross scheduled weekly pay and does not adjust for unpaid absences. If you take unpaid time off, reduce your hours accordingly.
What is a good weekly pay in the US in 2026?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median weekly earnings for full-time US workers in Q4 2025 was approximately $1,188 per week, equivalent to about $61,776 annually. Weekly pay above that benchmark places you in the top half of full-time US earners. Industry, location, and experience level all affect what counts as competitive weekly pay in your field.
