How the calculation works

Gross entered earnings = hourly rate × hours worked. The rate and hours must use the same paid or billable basis. Fractional hours are decimal hours; 1.5 hours means 90 minutes. The tool does not calculate take-home pay, tax, deductions, minimum-wage compliance or entitlement to paid hours. Choose one currency for every monetary input. The selector labels and formats amounts; it does not apply an exchange rate. Money displays use the selected currency’s standard minor units, including whole yen for JPY. Exact decimal arithmetic precedes rounding; halfway minor units round away from zero. Numeric input/result magnitudes are bounded by 9,007,199,254,740,991.

Example

Hourly Job example: Currency = GBP; Hourly Rate = 15; Hours Worked = 8. Result: £120.00.

Practical tip

Use gross pay and paid hours on one consistent basis; account for unpaid breaks separately.
