About PayRulesHub
Who This Site Is For
PayRulesHub is built for anyone who needs quick, reliable answers to everyday payroll questions:
- Employees who want to understand their paycheck before it arrives
- Job seekers comparing hourly vs. salaried offers or negotiating severance
- Small business owners estimating overtime costs or PTO liabilities
- HR generalists and managers who need a quick cross-check on payroll math
- Students and new workers learning how pay, taxes, and deductions work in the U.S.
Our Mission
Payroll math should not require a spreadsheet, a call to HR, or a paid subscription to figure out. PayRulesHub exists to make the most common payroll calculations — overtime, PTO accrual, salary conversion, take-home pay, severance estimation — fast, free, and understandable for anyone.
Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. We do not collect your income figures, hours entered, or any other inputs. Nothing is stored or transmitted.
What We Offer
- Overtime Pay Calculator — Calculate time-and-a-half and double-time pay with state-specific notes for CA, NY, TX, and more
- PTO Accrual Calculator — Estimate your paid time off balance by pay period, month, or year
- Hourly to Salary Calculator — Convert any hourly rate to annual, monthly, biweekly, and weekly equivalents
- Take-Home Pay Estimator — Estimate net pay after federal taxes, FICA, state taxes, and pre-tax deductions
- Severance Pay Calculator — Estimate severance using the most common formulas (1-week, 2-week, or monthly per year of service)
We also publish plain-English guides on employment pay topics — overtime law, PTO policy, pay schedules, and more — in our blog.
Our Editorial Standards
Every article and calculator on PayRulesHub is reviewed for accuracy against primary sources: the U.S. Department of Labor (dol.gov), IRS publications, and state labor agency websites. We update content when laws change and note the basis for any estimates or projections.
We are a small independent site, not a law firm, accounting firm, or HR consultancy. Our content is informational — always verify critical payroll or employment decisions with a qualified professional.
Important Disclaimer
PayRulesHub calculators and articles are for informational and estimation purposes only. They are not legal, tax, or HR advice. Employment laws vary significantly by state, industry, company size, and individual employment agreements. Always verify results with your HR department, payroll provider, tax professional, or employment attorney before making decisions based on these estimates.
Privacy
We do not store, sell, or track any personal data you enter into our calculators. All calculations run in your browser. We use Google AdSense for advertising and Google Analytics for aggregate traffic analysis — see our privacy policy for details.
