How it works

From an hourly rate to a yearly number

The calculator starts from your state's current minimum wage, but you can type in any hourly rate to see how the math changes. It figures regular pay on the first 40 hours, adds time and a half on anything above that, and then projects the week out to a month and a year.

Overtime

The federal rule is 1.5 times your rate after 40 hours in a week, and that's what the calculator uses. A handful of states go further with daily overtime, like California after 8 hours and Colorado after 12. For those states, treat the weekly result as a minimum, since a long single day can add more.

Tipped pay

Flip to the tipped view and the calculator uses the cash wage your state lets employers pay tipped workers. In the seven states with no tip credit, that cash wage is the full minimum. Everywhere else, your employer has to top you up to the full minimum if tips fall short.

A quick reminder

These are gross figures, before taxes and deductions, meant for a fast estimate. For an exact paycheck, check your pay stub or your state labor department.

Common questions

Minimum wage calculator FAQ

How does the minimum wage calculator work?
Pick your state and the calculator loads its 2026 minimum wage. Enter your hourly wage and hours per week, and it estimates weekly, monthly, and yearly pay, with anything over 40 hours figured at time and a half.
Does the calculator include overtime?
Yes. Hours over 40 in a week are calculated at 1.5 times your rate. Some states also require daily overtime after 8 or 12 hours, which can raise the total depending on your daily schedule, so the weekly estimate is a floor for those states.
What is minimum wage for a 40-hour week in 2026?
At the federal minimum of $7.25, a 40-hour week is $290 before taxes, about $15,080 a year. In a state like California at $16.90, the same week is $676, about $35,152 a year. Use the calculator for your own state and hours.
Does it handle tipped wages?
Yes. Switch to the tipped view and it uses your state cash wage. In the seven states that ban a tip credit, tipped workers get the full minimum wage, and the calculator reflects that.
Is this take-home pay?
No. These are gross estimates before taxes, withholding, and deductions. Your actual take-home pay will be lower.
