Weekly payroll calculator
Calculate your crew’s weekly pay from the daily wage and the days worked. Count half days and get the pay per worker and the crew total when everyone shares the same daily wage.
Piecework is paid by work completed, not by day, so it is not part of this calculation.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the weekly pay?
Multiply the daily wage by the days worked in the week. For example, a $500 daily wage for 5.5 days is 500 × 5.5 = $2,750 per worker. The crew total is that pay times the number of workers who share the same daily wage.
How is a half day counted?
A half day counts as 0.5 day. If someone worked 5 full days and one half day, you enter 5.5 days worked and the calculation pays it proportionally to the daily wage.
What is the difference between a day wage and piecework?
A day wage is paid per day worked, regardless of how much progress was made. Piecework is paid by work completed (per piece, per m² or per finished item), so it does not depend on the days and is not part of this calculator.
