var overtimeWeeklyPay = overtimeRate * overtimeHours;
var totalWeeklyPay = regularWeeklyPay + overtimeWeeklyPay;
var annualPay = totalWeeklyPay * weeksPerYear;
// Standard conversion for Bi-Weekly and Monthly based on Annual
// Monthly is Annual / 12, Bi-Weekly is Annual / 26 (assuming full year schedule structure)
// However, if weeksPerYear is custom (e.g., 20 weeks), the monthly average applies to the working period.
// To keep it standard for salary estimation:
var monthlyPay = annualPay / 12;
var biWeeklyPay = annualPay / 26;
// If weeks worked is less than 52, bi-weekly calculation might need adjustment interpretation,
// but strictly mathematically: (Weekly * Weeks) / 26 pay periods is standard salary conversion.
// If user inputs 1 week, they likely want to know that specific week's earnings.
// Let's stick to simple annualized math for the main outputs.

Understanding Your Hourly Pay Rate
Calculating your income when you are paid by the hour can sometimes be confusing, especially when factoring in overtime, unpaid time off, or variable schedules. This Time Pay Calculator helps you convert your hourly wage into daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual salary estimates.
How to Calculate Weekly Pay
The most basic calculation starts with your weekly earnings. To find this, simply multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work in a standard week.
Formula: Hourly Rate × Hours Worked = Weekly Pay
For example, if you make $20.00 per hour and work 40 hours per week, your weekly gross pay is $800.00.
Factoring in Overtime
Overtime can significantly boost your earnings. In many regions, the standard overtime rate is "time and a half" (1.5x your normal rate) for any hours worked over 40 in a week.
Standard Rate: $20.00/hr
Overtime Rate: $20.00 × 1.5 = $30.00/hr
If you work 5 hours of overtime, you add ($30.00 × 5) = $150.00 to your regular weekly pay.
Hourly to Salary: The "2080" Rule
A quick way to estimate your annual salary from an hourly rate is to use the number 2,080. This represents 40 hours a week multiplied by 52 weeks in a year.
If you earn $25/hour: $25 × 2,080 = $52,000 per year.
Keep in mind that this assumes you take no unpaid time off. If you are an hourly contractor who doesn't get paid vacation, you should adjust the "Weeks Worked per Year" input in the calculator above to get a more accurate figure.
Why Gross Pay vs. Net Pay Matters
The figures calculated above represent Gross Pay—the amount you earn before taxes and deductions. Your actual "take-home" pay (Net Pay) will be lower depending on:
Federal and State Taxes
Social Security and Medicare
Health Insurance Premiums
Retirement Contributions (401k)
While this calculator determines your gross earning potential based on time worked, always budget based on your net pay.
Bi-Weekly vs. Semi-Monthly Pay Periods
It is important to know your employer's pay schedule when budgeting:
Bi-Weekly: You are paid every two weeks (26 paychecks per year). In two months of the year, you will receive three paychecks.
Semi-Monthly: You are paid twice a month (24 paychecks per year), usually on the 1st and 15th. Your paychecks are slightly larger than bi-weekly checks, but consistent every month.
