Holiday Pay Calculator

Estimate pay for working on a holiday. Enter your hourly rate and hours worked (or select whether you get time off or premium pay). Some employers pay 1.5× or 2× for holiday work.

Estimate tax or take-home

Enter income to estimate.

How it works

We apply your employer's holiday premium (e.g. 1.5× or 2×) to hours worked. If you get a day off instead, we don't add pay but you can compare to a regular day's pay.

When to use it

Use when you work holidays and want to verify holiday pay.
