Where each dollar goes
How this is calculated
Conversions
Hourly and daily pay use the hours and days actually paid (52 weeks minus unpaid weeks). Weekly through monthly pay are the yearly total divided by 52, 26, 24 or 12, the way a salaried paycheck pays. Per hour worked also removes paid holidays and vacation.
Overtime
Federal law pays 1.5 times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. California also pays 1.5 times over 8 hours in a day and double over 12, and on a 7th straight workday 1.5 times for the first 8 hours and double after (Labor Code 510). Salaried pay is treated as exempt.
Take-home pay
Runs a full year of paychecks every 2 weeks through the same engine as the paycheck calculator: 2026 federal withholding (Pub. 15-T), Social Security and Medicare, and each state's own withholding, payroll and local taxes. Bonuses are included as regular wages.
