Direct answer
Calculate regular and overtime pay first, then add the bonus as a separate gross-pay line unless the pay rule requires a different treatment.
Some bonuses can affect overtime calculations, so keep the bonus type visible when comparing with payroll.
Use this answer for estimating a week where overtime and a bonus appear together. Compare the inputs with your pay stub, offer letter, commission plan, benefits election, payroll setting, or deduction notice before relying on the result.

Formula: Gross pay = regular pay + overtime pay + bonus amount.
Example: 40 regular hours at 20, 5 overtime hours at 30, and a 100 bonus equals 1050 gross before taxes.
Keep the formula and example beside the calculator result so you can tell whether a difference came from hours, dates, pay frequency, break treatment, or policy wording.

Step-by-step method
Key checks
- Write down the hours, rate, salary, pay frequency, commission, bonus, tips, deductions, taxes, and unpaid time before calculating.
- Calculate the clean version first so the baseline is visible.
- Apply the rule: Gross pay = regular pay + overtime pay + bonus amount.
- Adjust for gross versus net pay, taxable tips, commission timing, bonus withholding, unpaid leave, deductions, premium rates, and pay frequency only when those details apply.
- Compare the result with your pay stub, offer letter, commission plan, benefits election, payroll setting, or deduction notice before using it for a real paycheck estimate, job comparison, raise review, payroll question, or budget note.
What can change the answer
The answer can change when gross versus net pay, taxable tips, commission timing, bonus withholding, unpaid leave, deductions, premium rates, and pay frequency are part of the real situation.
The calculator is still useful; the important step is matching the inputs to the record, schedule, paycheck, or policy you are checking.
If the result affects pay, PTO, notice timing, or a formal deadline, treat it as a planning estimate until the official source confirms it.
Common mistakes
Key checks
- Do not apply the overtime rate to the bonus unless the rule requires it.
