Your week. Your worth.

Enter your rate, weekly hours and overtime rule to estimate gross pay.

How to use

Add another job if needed; annual pace defaults to 52 paid weeks and can be adjusted.

In testing · Base pay, cash fringe and benefits calculations are being verified.
Extra pay & different rates · optional
Which extra-pay field should I use?

Put tips, discretionary bonuses or other pay in Extra earnings. Put a bonus or commission allocated to this week in the OT field only if it belongs in your regular rate; do not enter it twice.

Paid a reduced tipped cash wage? Keep that cash rate above and put tips in Extra earnings. If your overtime regular rate differs, enter the full regular rate used by payroll below. PayGuess does not determine tip credits, minimum-wage compliance or legal entitlement.

Leave blank to use the calculated weighted regular rate. An entered rate replaces that rate for the additional OT premium only; it must include any required bonus or commission. It does not change straight-time cash pay.

Split this employer’s hours between rates; don’t enter the same hours twice.

Up to 5 rates per employer. Overtime uses the weighted average and selected rule; daily, contractual and prevailing-wage rules may differ.

Use 52 for year-round work, or fewer for unpaid time off. A seasonal second job can have its own weeks. Salary follows your payment schedule; it is not reduced by this setting.

Predict my take-home · optional estimate

Use a previous paycheck from the same job. Enter the numbers, or scan a photo and confirm them.

Photo scanning is paused for this test release. Please enter the numbers manually.

Crop to the current-pay summary first; cover names, addresses, SSNs and bank details. Photo scanning is disabled in this release. Manually entered paycheck figures stay in this session only and are not used for ads or job searches.

Estimated take-home for this paycheck
—

Based on your previous paycheck. Assumes a similar tax-withholding percentage and the deductions you entered. Actual deposits and final taxes may differ. Planning estimate, not payroll or tax advice.

Plan a few months ahead · optional

Build consecutive phases: for example, 7 months at one pay and 5 at another. Change the calculator before capturing the next phase, or enter a monthly estimate directly.

Estimates before taxes, assuming this pay continues. Remember my weeks saves plans on this device.

How this estimate works

Planning estimates, not saved earnings or guaranteed pay. Weekly pay uses 52 ÷ 12 weeks/month. Salary paycheck schedules use their usual frequency; custom schedules use a calendar average. Capturing includes all jobs currently entered and repeats current hours, extras and entered costs throughout the phase; annual working-week limits are not applied again. Include unpaid gaps as a separate $0 phase. Without Remember my weeks, plans last for this visit only.

My weeks · history & trends

Optional. Saves confirmed weeks and their earnings inputs on this browser/device. Clearing site data removes history and plans; there is no cloud sync.

A midweek check isn’t saved automatically. Use only completed work for the period you’re checking; save your finished weekly totals when ready.

Only saved weeks count. Missing weeks stay missing; saved $0 weeks count. Salary values are weekly equivalents, not deposits. Pay-type totals stay separate because entries can overlap.

One entry per week ending and pay type; saving again updates it. Only weeks you explicitly save count. A saved $0 week counts; unsaved weeks never lower your average. Start date is your earliest saved week ending.

PayGuess — your weekly pay calculator

$23 an hour for 37 hours is $851 before taxes. At $40 an hour for 53.5 hours with time-and-a-half after 40, gross pay is $2,410.

Salary accepts yearly pay or your paycheck amount and frequency. Set the number of payments if paid for part of the year; add seasonal work with its own working weeks. Client work combines completed jobs or client hours, subtracts entered costs, and accounts for canceled hours. Annual pace defaults to 52 paid weeks; adjust paid weeks in Annual projection. It is not a forecast.
