Take-home pay is an estimate. Manual mode uses your effective rates; the official 2026 preset uses simplified published national rules and, for the US, the selected single or joint filing profile. Regional and local rates remain user-entered assumptions. Credits, allowances, benefits, and payroll-period rounding are not fully modeled.

Detailed inputs and projection

InputValue

This estimate is educational and depends entirely on the assumptions entered. It is not financial, tax, insurance, legal, investment, payroll, or energy advice.

Calculator-specific reference checks

These prompts help you review assumptions; they are not universal standards or personal recommendations.

ItemPlanning guidance
Paid weeksUse 52 only when all weeks are paid. Reduce the value for unpaid leave, seasonal gaps, or unpaid holidays.
OvertimeEnter recurring overtime separately and verify the multiplier and eligibility under the applicable employment rules.
Effective ratesUse annual effective rates, not simply the top marginal bracket; payroll contributions may have thresholds and caps.
Other deductionsInclude employee benefits, retirement contributions, union dues, garnishments, or other recurring payroll deductions as appropriate.

Regional planning guide

Use the country pages to match terminology and review the local inputs that most often change the result.

United States

For a United States scenario, enter regular and overtime hours using the employment arrangement and state rules that apply. The federal, state and payroll fields are effective-rate assumptions rather than tax-bracket calculations; compare the result with an official withholding estimator and include benefits, retirement deductions and local taxes separately.

Open country guide

United Kingdom

For a United Kingdom scenario, enter paid weeks, contractual hours and overtime in pounds. Use effective deductions that reflect PAYE, National Insurance, pension contributions, student loans and other payroll items after checking an official estimate; the calculator does not reproduce tax codes, bands or payroll-period rounding.

Open country guide

Canada

For a Canadian scenario, use the employee's province or territory, paid weeks, overtime arrangement and Canadian-dollar deductions. Federal and provincial tax, CPP or QPP, EI, benefits and pension deductions require current payroll rules, so enter reviewed effective rates and compare the result with an official payroll calculator.

Open country guide

Australia

For an Australian scenario, enter ordinary and overtime pay in Australian dollars and confirm whether allowances or penalty rates belong in the hourly figure. Use a reviewed effective tax and Medicare assumption, treat superannuation according to whether it is additional to salary, and compare take-home pay with an official withholding calculation.

Convert an hourly rate to gross salary and estimated take-home pay

Hourly pay becomes annual salary only after working hours, paid weeks, and overtime are defined. Net pay then depends on jurisdiction and personal payroll facts. This calculator keeps those steps separate and makes every effective deduction-rate assumption visible.

How to use this calculator

Enter base hourly pay, regular weekly hours, paid weeks, and recurring overtime. For a net estimate, enter effective national or federal tax, regional tax, payroll or social contributions, and other monthly deductions. Use rates derived from a current official estimator or payslip.

How to interpret the result

Gross annual pay includes the entered regular and overtime schedule. Estimated taxes apply the combined entered rates to gross pay, while other deductions are annualized separately. Effective deduction rate combines both for an easier gross-to-net comparison.

Decision checks

Confirm pay frequency, paid holidays, overtime eligibility, bonuses, tips, commissions, benefit deductions, retirement contributions, tax credits, filing status, thresholds, caps, and residency. Compare the result with an actual payslip before using it for a major commitment.

Compare realistic scenarios

Run normal hours, a lower-hours case, and a realistic overtime case. Test deductions using a recent payslip and a current official withholding calculator rather than assuming a marginal tax bracket applies to every unit of income.

Limitations and important context

This is not a statutory payroll engine and does not determine localized tax brackets or exact withholding. It cannot model every state, province, territory, council, pension, social insurance, benefit, credit, allowance, or mid-year payroll adjustment.

Obtain current deductions from official tools such as the US IRS Tax Withholding Estimator, UK HMRC income-tax estimator, Canada Revenue Agency's Payroll Deductions Online Calculator, or the Australian Taxation Office's tax withheld calculator.

What these items mean

Gross pay

Earnings before employee taxes and deductions. Payroll standards distinguish gross pay from taxable wages because some benefits or contributions change the taxable base.

Effective tax rate

Total modeled tax divided by gross income. It differs from a marginal rate, which applies only to income within a particular band.

Payroll deductions

Amounts withheld for taxes, social programs, retirement, benefits, court orders, or other purposes under local rules and employee elections.
