Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my paycheck from my hourly rate?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work in a pay period to get gross pay. Then subtract federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%) and any state tax. Enter your rate and hours above to do it automatically.
How much is taken out of a $20-an-hour paycheck?
Working 40 hours a week at $20 an hour in a state with no income tax, a single filer takes home about $684.72 a week in 2026, out of $800 gross.
Does overtime change my taxes?
Overtime is taxed like regular pay, but it can push a paycheck into higher withholding. From 2025 to 2028 you can deduct the overtime premium on your federal return. See the overtime calculator.
