Gross pay, take-home pay and the hours behind both

Pay questions split into three types. Conversions, hourly to annual and back, depend entirely on how many hours and weeks you assume, so state the assumption rather than defaulting blindly. Overtime depends on your classification and the rules that apply to it. Take-home pay depends on federal, state and local taxes plus pre-tax deductions, which is why a paycheck result has to be state-specific to be useful.

The most common error is budgeting from gross pay. Pre-tax deductions such as retirement contributions and health premiums reduce taxable income, which changes the withholding result, so two people on the same salary can see different net pay.

Use the hourly to salary calculator for conversions, the overtime calculator for premium hours, and the state paycheck calculators — for example Washington, for net pay.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Assuming a standard full-time year without stating the hours and weeks used.
• Budgeting from gross pay instead of take-home pay.
• Applying overtime rules without checking whether the role is actually covered by them.
• Using a national paycheck estimate where state or city tax materially changes the result.
• Forgetting that pre-tax retirement and health deductions change taxable income.
