Overtime and pay periods
Overtime is added to your pay and taxed at your normal rates; a big cheque can look heavily taxed because payroll treats each pay as if it continued all year, but your return evens it out. Hourly workers are usually paid bi-weekly; the bi-weekly pay calculator shows what lands every two weeks.
