Regular Pay Calculator
Standard Formula
Straight Pay = Regular Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
Straight regular pay covers standard workweek hours before any overtime threshold triggers.
How Regular Pay Calculator Works?
The Regular Pay Calculator works by multiplying your hourly rate by your regular, non-overtime hours. The output is straight-time pay plus a biweekly (80-hour) equivalent.
1Enter the hourly rate
Type your base wage, for example $24.00 per hour.
2Enter regular hours
Add hours up to the overtime threshold. Full-time work is 40 hours; part-time schedules use the actual figure.
3Read straight pay
The tool returns rate × hours. 40 hours at $24.00 equals $960.00.
4Check the biweekly figure
The calculator doubles a full-time week to show 80-hour biweekly pay, $1,920.00 in the example.
Regular Pay Calculator Formula
The Regular Pay Calculator formula is Straight Pay = Regular Hourly Rate × Regular Hours.
Weekly straight pay
Straight Pay = Rate × Regular Hours
Biweekly equivalent
Biweekly Pay = Rate × 80
Annual equivalent
Annual Pay = Rate × 2,080
- Rate
- Hourly wage in $/hr.
- Regular Hours
- Hours worked at 1.0×, up to the overtime threshold.
- 2,080
- Hours in a full-time year: 40 hours × 52 weeks.
Worked example: 32-hour part-time week
A $17.50 per hour worker works 32 regular hours.
Straight Pay = $17.50 × 32 = $560.00 for the week.

What is Regular Pay Calculator?
A Regular Pay Calculator is a wage tool that computes straight-time earnings for hours worked at the base rate. The figure excludes overtime, bonuses and premiums.
Regular pay is the floor of every paycheck. Under the FLSA, regular hours are all hours up to 40 in a workweek. Some states and union contracts set a lower threshold, such as 8 hours per day or 37.5 hours per week.
Lenders, landlords and benefit programs often ask for straight-time income alone, since overtime varies from week to week.
