Your hourly rate and hours in, your take-home pay out. Overtime is paid at 1.5× your rate; tips you report are taxed like wages.

Gross pay$1,600.00$41,600.00
Your pay before anything is taken out: yearly pay divided by the 26 paychecks in a year (hourly pay is a week's pay × 52, spread the same way).
Federal income tax · withheld−$108.15−$2,812.00
Worked out from your pay and your Form W-4 with the IRS percentage method (Worksheet 1A): yearly pay, minus the allowance for your filing status, into the 2026 annual table, minus W-4 credits, divided by paychecks. Each line, for this paycheck:
| Pay subject to income tax, for the year · $1,600.00 × 26 paychecks | $41,600.00 |
| Minus the IRS withholding allowance · Pub 15-T Worksheet 1A, line 1g | −$8,600.00 |
| Adjusted yearly wage | $33,000.00 |
| Tax from the IRS yearly table · standard table | $2,812.00 |
| Federal income tax per paycheck · divided by 26 | $108.15 |
IRS Publication 15-T (2026), Worksheet 1A - the percentage method payroll software uses for a Form W-4 from 2020 or later. Your employer's figure can differ by a few cents because of rounding.
Adjusted yearly wage: $33,000.00, so this row applies:

Hourly pay in North Dakota
North Dakota's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, set in state law from July 24, 2009. Tipped employees - those who get more than $30 a month in tips - can be paid $4.86 an hour in cash. That is a tip credit of 33% ($2.39), and tips plus wages must reach $7.25.
Overtime. State rules require time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a week. There is no daily overtime rule, and paid leave does not count toward the 40 hours.

Minimum wage after taxes in North Dakota
At North Dakota's minimum wage of $7.25 an hour (since July 24, 2009), a full-time worker takes home about $535.63 every two weeks - $13,926 a year, or $6.70 for each hour worked after tax. No increase is scheduled.
| Minimum wage, $7.25/hour | Gross per paycheck | Take-home per paycheck | Take-home a year | After tax per hour |

Paid every two weeks, single filer, standard W-4, no benefits. Tipped workers can be paid $4.86 an hour in cash if tips bring them to the full minimum; their tax depends on the tips they report. Every state's figures: minimum wage after taxes by state.
Take-home at common hourly rates in North Dakota
Full time (40 hours a week), paid every two weeks, single filer with a standard W-4 and no benefits. The last column is what you keep for each hour worked.
| Hourly rate | Take-home per paycheck | Take-home a year | Kept per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| $7.25 (minimum wage) | $535.63 | $13,926 | $6.70 |
| $15 | $1,048.05 | $27,249 | $13.10 |
| $18 | $1,240.89 | $32,263 | $15.51 |
| $20 | $1,369.45 | $35,606 | $17.12 |
| $22 | $1,498.01 | $38,948 | $18.73 |
| $25 | $1,690.85 | $43,962 | $21.14 |
| $30 | $2,008.25 | $52,214 | $25.10 |
Part time and overtime at $20 an hour in North Dakota
Every two weeks, single filer, standard W-4. Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the rate. More hours mean a larger share is withheld, because withholding is worked out as if each paycheck were repeated all year.
| Hours a week | Gross per paycheck | Take-home per paycheck | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 hours | $800.00 | $720.72 | 90% |
| 30 hours | $1,200.00 | $1,048.05 | 87% |
| 40 hours | $1,600.00 | $1,369.45 | 86% |
| 40 hours + 5 overtime | $1,900.00 | $1,610.50 | 85% |
| 40 hours + 10 overtime | $2,200.00 | $1,851.55 | 84% |
Because hours change from week to week, your withholding changes too: a week with lots of overtime is withheld as if you earned that much every week, so more comes out. It usually evens out when you file your return.
Tips and overtime in 2026
New federal deductions apply for 2025 through 2028: up to $25,000 for qualified tips, and up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers) for the extra "half" of time-and-a-half overtime. Both phase out above $150,000 of income ($300,000 joint).
These are deductions on your tax return. Your employer still takes Social Security and Medicare out of tips and overtime, and still withholds income tax unless you tell it otherwise. If you expect to claim them, you can put the expected amount in Step 4(b) of your W-4 (and in the Step 4(b) box above) so less income tax is withheld during the year.
