• Picking up extra shifts? The overtime calculator splits a long week into regular and time-and-a-half pay, including bonuses. Holiday season is a common time for extra hours; see seasonal jobs hiring this year.

What the Calculators Show: 2026 Data Highlights

Each calculator is built on dated government data, and running the numbers turns up some findings worth knowing. Every figure below is worked out on the linked calculator page, with its source.

• A typical raise is a pay cut this year. With consumer prices up 3.7% in the 12 months to September 2026, a 3% raise leaves a worker about 0.7% behind in buying power. The average 2026 salary increase budget, 3.5%, also falls short. (Pay raise calculator)
• Where you work changes minimum-wage pay by more than $23,000 a year. A full-time job at the federal $7.25 minimum pays $15,080 a year, the rate that still applies in 20 states. At the $18.40 minimum in Washington, D.C., the same job pays $38,272. (Hourly to salary calculator)
• Bonuses should raise your overtime rate. Under Labor Department rules, promised bonuses and shift differentials count toward the regular rate overtime is based on. An $18-an-hour worker with a $60 bonus and 8 overtime hours is owed $1,001 for the week, not $996. (Overtime calculator)
• Few hourly workers will hit the overtime deduction cap. Only the half-time premium counts toward the $12,500 federal deduction. Even at $40 an hour with 10 overtime hours every week, the yearly premium is $10,400. (Overtime calculator)
• Vacation grows slowly with seniority. Private industry workers averaged 11 paid vacation days after one year and 20 after twenty years in March 2026, according to BLS. A common accrual rate of 0.028 hours per hour worked adds up to only about 7.3 days a year. (PTO accrual calculator)

About These Calculators

Every calculator shows gross pay, before taxes and deductions, and explains its formula on the page so you can check the math yourself. Where a number comes from a government source, the page names the source and the date. Your employer’s policy and your state’s law can change the details, so treat the results as estimates and confirm anything important with HR or your pay stub.

The calculators run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored.
