How do I calculate a blended hourly rate?

Blended hourly rate = Total earnings ÷ Total hours. Multiply each rate by the hours worked at that rate, sum all earnings, then divide by total hours.

About This Calculator

When you work at two different pay rates in the same period — such as regular and overtime, two jobs, or two client billing rates — your 'blended' rate is the weighted average across all hours. This is the figure that matters for budgeting and tax planning.

Estimates only — not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify important results with a qualified professional before making decisions.

total earnings = Rate₁×Hours₁ + Rate₂×Hours₂; total hours = Hours₁ + Hours₂; blended rate = total earnings ÷ total hours
