Is this exact take‑home pay?

This tool gives a rough estimate. Your actual withholding depends on your W‑4/W‑2 elections, local taxes, benefits, and employer payroll rules.

How do you calculate overtime?

We multiply your base rate (plus any shift differential) by 1.5× or 2.0× for the OT hours you enter. The CA Daily OT Assistant can derive OT hours from 7 days of inputs (simplified rules).
