Worked examples
Input
$40/hr · 36 hrs · night +$4 on 36
Output
Base $1,440 · Diff $144 · Gross $1,584
Standard 3×12 week with night premium on all hours.
Input
Same · +4 OT hrs blended at 1.5×
Output
OT adds on top · Gross rises above $1,584
Common traps
- Gross ≠ deposit — taxes, benefits, and garnishments sit between gross and net.
- Premiums may be mis-coded on stubs — reconcile line by line, not just the total.
- Blended OT with differentials changes the OT rate — enter the multiplier your policy uses.

Common questions
Gross is before taxes and deductions; net is what hits your account. This tool estimates gross only.
Yes — enter differential $/hr and hours; they stack on base before OT.
Optional — enable blended OT if your facility includes premiums in the regular rate for OT calculation.
No — open-math estimate from numbers you enter, not hospital payroll.
