The Minor Paycheck Calculator helps teenagers, part-time workers, and parents accurately estimate take-home pay after taxes and deductions.
It’s designed specifically for minors aged 14–17 who work part-time or summer jobs, providing an easy way to understand how much money they’ll earn and take home each week or month.

Many minors work for hourly pay — babysitting, fast food, retail, or internships — but aren’t sure how taxes, hours, or deductions affect their final paycheck.
This calculator solves that by clearly showing gross pay, tax deductions, and final net pay.

⚙️ How to Use the Minor Paycheck Calculator

Follow these simple steps to calculate a teen’s paycheck:

Step 1: Enter Your Hourly Wage

Type in your hourly rate — for example, $10.50 per hour.

Step 2: Enter the Total Hours Worked

Add up the total hours worked in a week or pay period.
Example: 20 hours per week.

Step 3: Choose Pay Frequency

Select whether you’re paid weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
This helps calculate your recurring paycheck accurately.

Step 4: Add Deductions (Optional)

Input optional tax deductions such as:

Federal or state income tax (if applicable)
Social Security and Medicare (FICA)
Any voluntary deductions (like lunch, transport, etc.)

Step 5: Click “Calculate”

The calculator instantly shows:

Gross Pay (before deductions)
Estimated Taxes
Net (Take-Home) Pay
Annual Income Projection
Hourly-to-Weekly or Monthly conversion

💼 Example Calculation

Let’s say you’re 16 years old, working part-time at a local store.

Hourly Wage: $12.00/hour
Hours per week: 18 hours
Pay Frequency: Weekly
Tax Rate: 10%

Calculation

Gross pay = 12 × 18 = $216.00
Tax = 216 × 0.10 = $21.60
Net Pay = 216 − 21.60 = $194.40

✅ Your take-home pay is $194.40 per week.
If you work all year, that’s about $10,100 annually (before deductions).

💰 Formula Used

Net Pay (Take-Home):
Gross Pay − Taxes − Other Deductions

Annual Income (Optional):
Net Pay × Pay Periods per Year

🧠 Pro Tip

If you earn below a certain amount, you may not owe federal income tax, but Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) still apply.

So even as a teen, your paycheck might show ~7.65% total FICA deductions.

Save at least 10–20% of each paycheck.
Track your spending to avoid impulse buys.
Consider opening a student savings account.
Keep pay stubs — they’re useful for tax season and proof of income.
Remember: hours × consistency = financial growth.
