Work, Payroll & Time
Calculate gross biweekly pay from hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours and optional pretax deductions, with clear pay-period assumptions and a printable payroll worksheet.
Calculator
Regular biweekly pay = hourly rate × regular hours per week × 2. Overtime biweekly pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours per week × 2. Gross biweekly pay = regular biweekly pay + overtime biweekly pay + bonus or allowance − pretax deduction. Annualized gross estimate = gross biweekly pay × 26.
This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.Visual grid
Hours and minutes are micro-time. Mapping them onto a week shows how a simple total becomes part of payroll, breaks, overtime thresholds and workday rules.
A sterile total becomes clearer when it is placed on the weekly grid: workdays, rest days, breaks and thresholds all become visible.

Regular biweekly pay = hourly rate × regular hours per week × 2. Overtime biweekly pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours per week × 2. Gross biweekly pay = regular biweekly pay + overtime biweekly pay + bonus or allowance − pretax deduction. Annualized gross estimate = gross biweekly pay × 26.

At 25 per hour, 40 regular hours per week and 2 overtime hours per week at 1.5×, regular biweekly pay = 25 × 40 × 2 = 2,000. Overtime biweekly pay = 25 × 1.5 × 2 × 2 = 150. With no bonus or deduction, gross biweekly pay = 2,150 and the simple annualized estimate is 55,900.
Master’s Tip: keep regular hours, overtime hours and one-off additions on separate lines. A biweekly pay record is easier to check when the two-week period, multiplier and annualized comparison are visible instead of blended into one unexplained number.
Standard or basis: transparent gross-pay arithmetic for a two-week pay period, using 26 biweekly periods per year for the annualized comparison. No named employment-law, tax, award, union or payroll-compliance standard is claimed.

CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.Master’s Tip: keep regular hours, overtime hours and one-off additions on separate lines.

Multiply the hourly rate by regular hours per week and by 2. Add overtime pay, bonuses or allowances, then subtract any worksheet deduction you want shown separately.
A simple annualized estimate uses 26 biweekly pay periods because 52 weeks divided by 2 equals 26.
No. This calculator shows gross biweekly pay before tax, deductions, benefits and local payroll rules. Use official payroll or tax guidance for take-home pay.
Enter overtime hours per week and the overtime multiplier. The calculator multiplies overtime hours by the base rate, multiplier and two weeks.
Print the hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, multiplier, additions, deductions, gross biweekly result, annualized comparison, formula, assumptions, date, page URL and notes about the pay period.
Biweekly pay turns two work weeks into one payroll record. The arithmetic is simple, but the record is only trustworthy when regular hours, overtime hours, multipliers, additions and deductions stay visible.
Biweekly pay means one pay period covering two weeks. Annualizing that result normally multiplies by 26, but the printed record should still show the actual two-week inputs.
A payroll worksheet can show gross earnings clearly without pretending to calculate tax or benefits. Keeping that boundary visible prevents a useful estimate from being mistaken for a payslip.
Premium hours can depend on law, contract, award, union rule or employer policy. The calculator applies the entered multiplier, while the user keeps the governing rule in the notes.
