Bi-Weekly Payroll & Timesheet Calculator — $25/hr
Enter clock-in, clock-out, and unpaid break time for each of the 14 days in your pay period. The calculator splits your bi-weekly period into two 7-day workweeks, applies FLSA overtime (time-and-a-half for any hours over 40 in a single week), and produces your gross paycheck.

💰 Understanding Your $25/hr Bi-Weekly Paycheck
If you earn $25 per hour, a standard 80-hour bi-weekly paycheck results in a gross pay of $2,000.00 (before federal and state income tax, Social Security, and Medicare deductions). If you work overtime (time-and-a-half), your overtime rate is $37.50 per hour. Earning $25/hr across 26 bi-weekly periods yields an annual gross salary of approximately $52,000 at straight time.
Overtime eligibility under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is determined per 7-day workweek, not per pay period. If you work 45 hours in Week 1 and 35 hours in Week 2, you owe 5 hours of overtime for Week 1 alone — even though your bi-weekly total is only 80 hours.
