Formula Used

Gross Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked

Federal Tax = Gross Pay × (Tax Rate / 100)

Net Pay = Gross Pay - Federal Tax

This formula provides a straightforward calculation of your federal tax based on your hours worked and tax rate.

Worked Example

Let's say you work 40 hours a week at $20 per hour with a 12% federal tax rate:

Gross Pay = $20 × 40 = $800
Federal Tax = $800 × 0.12 = $96
Net Pay = $800 - $96 = $704

Using this calculator, you would enter $20 for hourly wage, 40 for hours worked, and select 12% from the tax rate dropdown to get these results.

Assumptions

This calculator makes the following assumptions:

All hours worked are paid at the same hourly rate
The federal tax rate is applied to the entire gross pay
