OraCalculate gross earnings
Multiply regular paid hours by the hourly rate. Add overtime hours multiplied by the base rate and the selected full-rate multiplier, then add any other gross earnings you entered. Do not count an item twice. The selected pay frequency is a label for your reference; it does not determine the applicable overtime rule. Add each bonus, tip or other gross extra as a separate line with an optional description.
Worked example
Assume 40 regular hours at €15, five overtime hours at 1.5× and a €20 gross bonus. Regular pay is €600, overtime is €112.50 and the bonus is €20: €732.50 estimated gross earnings. An additional €10 reimbursement is shown separately, making €742.50 before deductions. If you separately enter a €50 deduction, the illustrative gross-minus-entered-deductions amount is €682.50; this figure excludes the reimbursement. It is not statutory net pay, and it does not establish the reimbursement’s tax treatment.
The paycheck-checking guide starts with the relevant period and recorded hours. Use the payslip explanation to distinguish earnings, deductions and reimbursements before deciding which amount to compare.
Compare with a payslip
Check the pay-period dates, the hours recorded, rates, overtime and earnings items. Compare gross earnings with the appropriate payslip lines before considering deductions. Reimbursements may be presented or treated differently by your employer or jurisdiction.
What this tool cannot calculate
You can enter known deductions as separate labeled lines, but the tool does not determine or calculate income tax, social contributions, benefit deductions, statutory net pay, payroll obligations or a final bank payment. The illustrative amount subtracts only what you entered from gross earnings and excludes reimbursements. Your agreement, employment status and local rules matter. Ask payroll or a qualified adviser about a material difference.
Questions about the estimate
Can this calculate my taxes?
No. It gives a gross estimate and does not apply tax rules or tax rates. You may manually enter a known withholding amount as a deduction.
Is the result an actual payslip?
No. It is an illustration from your entries and cannot replace an employer-issued payslip.
Where do deductions come from?
You enter each amount yourself from your own records. The tool does not infer or validate the correct deduction for your situation.
Why are reimbursements separate?
They are not added to gross earnings by this tool because their classification and treatment can vary. The separate total is before any deductions.
Results are estimates before tax. Rules and actual pay vary with your contract, location, payroll and deductions. About these estimates.
