Track Hours with ShiftFlowHow hourly pay is calculated
Gross pay = (regular hours × hourly rate) + (overtime hours × hourly rate × overtime multiplier). Worked example: 40 hours at $25/hour is $1,000 regular pay; 5 overtime hours at $25 × 1.5 add $187.50; gross pay is $1,187.50.
Common mistakes
- Counting unpaid meal breaks as worked hours — subtract them first.
- Applying the overtime multiplier to all hours instead of only the hours past the threshold.
- Treating gross pay as take-home pay — taxes and deductions come out of this number.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my pay from my hourly rate?
Multiply your hours worked by your hourly rate. 40 hours at $25/hour is $1,000. If some of those hours are overtime, multiply the overtime hours by your rate and the overtime multiplier (commonly 1.5×) and add that on top.
What is the difference between gross pay and net pay?
Gross pay is everything you earned before anything is taken out — the number this calculator shows. Net (take-home) pay is what lands in your account after income tax, payroll contributions, and other deductions, so it is always lower than gross.
How does overtime change my pay?
Overtime hours are paid at a multiplier of your regular rate — commonly 1.5×, so $25/hour becomes $37.50/hour. Five overtime hours at $25 × 1.5 add $187.50 to your gross pay. The threshold and multiplier depend on your jurisdiction and employment agreement.
Do unpaid breaks count toward my hours?
No. Unpaid meal breaks are subtracted from your hours worked before pay is calculated, while paid rest breaks count as time worked. If you are unsure of your total, the work hours calculator handles start time, end time, and breaks for you.
How do I convert minutes to decimal hours for pay?
Divide the minutes by 60. 8 hours 45 minutes is 8 + 45/60 = 8.75 decimal hours, and 8.75 × $25 = $218.75. Payroll systems use decimal hours because rates multiply cleanly against them.
