Overtime changes an hourly New York paycheck in a way salary math can't show

Unlike the salary scenarios on this site, this calculator applies the FLSA overtime premium (29 U.S.C. §207): hours worked over 40 in a week pay 1.5× the base rate. At a $25/hr rate in New York, 40 hours a week nets $1,605.81 every two weeks; adding 5 hours of weekly overtime lifts that to $1,886.87 — the extra 5 hours contribute more than 5/40 of the raise because they're paid at time-and-a-half.

Because gross pay depends on hours actually worked, an hourly New York paycheck varies week to week in a way a fixed salary never does — this page's estimate is per pay period based on the hours and rate you enter, not an annualized average.
