Hourly to Weekly Pay Calculator
The Formula
Converting your hourly rate to weekly pay is straightforward: multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week. This page shows you the formula, examples at common rates, and how varying hours change your weekly income.
For full-time workers at 40 hours per week, simply multiply your hourly rate by 40. Part-time workers should use their actual weekly hours. If your hours vary, use your average weekly hours over the past month for the best estimate.
Remember that overtime hours (over 40/week under FLSA) are paid at 1.5x your regular rate. So a week with 45 hours at $20/hr = (40 x $20) + (5 x $30) = $950, not $900.

How Weekly Hours Affect Your Pay
Your weekly paycheck is directly tied to hours worked. A $20/hr worker at 40 hours earns $800/week, but at 30 hours earns only $600 — a $200 difference. Over a year, that gap is $10,400.
If you are deciding between full-time and part-time work, calculate the weekly pay difference to understand the financial trade-off. Use our hourly to salary calculator to see the annual impact.
For shift workers with differentials, your effective hourly rate may vary by shift. Calculate weekly pay separately for each shift rate and add them together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week. Example: $25/hr x 40 hours = $1,000/week.
Gross weekly pay is before taxes. Your actual paycheck will be lower after federal, state, and FICA deductions.
Hours over 40 per week are paid at 1.5x under FLSA. Add overtime pay separately: OT hours x (rate x 1.5).
Multiply weekly pay by 52 for annual gross salary. Example: $1,000/week x 52 = $52,000/year.
