Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime calculated on hourly pay?
Federal law requires overtime at 1.5x your regular rate for hours over 40 per week. If your regular rate is $20/hour, overtime is $30/hour. Some states have stricter rules, like California which requires overtime after 8 hours per day.
What taxes are taken out of an hourly paycheck?
Federal income tax (varies by bracket), state income tax (varies by state), FICA (7.65% total: 6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare), and any local taxes. Pre-tax deductions like 401k and health insurance reduce taxable income.
How do I calculate my take-home pay?
Multiply hours by rate (add overtime if applicable) for gross pay. Subtract federal tax, state tax, FICA (7.65%), and any other deductions. The remainder is your net (take-home) pay.
