Total each pay period, with overtime per week
Enter the paid decimal hours for each day. A weekly period is seven days; a biweekly period is fourteen, shown as two weeks. The total hours multiplied by the hourly rate gives the gross pay. This page uses decimal hours per day; to total clock-in and clock-out times instead, use the time card calculator.
Each week pays 40 × $20 ($800) plus 5 overtime hours at $30 ($150), so $950. Two weeks total $1,900. Overtime is applied to each week on its own.
Why overtime is per week, not per period
Under the federal FLSA rule, overtime is based on a single workweek. For a biweekly timesheet that means the 40-hour threshold applies to each week separately. Summing both weeks to 90 hours and taking overtime over 80 would be wrong: two 45-hour weeks owe 10 overtime hours, not 10 over an 80-hour line. This calculator keeps the weeks separate.
Where the simple estimate stops
The page uses one hourly rate, one weekly threshold and one multiplier. Different rates, daily overtime, bonuses or shift differentials need a different calculation. The overtime defaults are examples, not a legal determination; confirm the rules that apply.
Amounts are estimates of entered agreements. This tool does not transfer money, calculate taxes, or certify pay-rule compliance.
