Check a Final Paycheck Against What You Earned
The last check should carry the hours, the overtime, and any leave your employer's written policy pays out.
Compare the amount you expected for each component of your final pay with the amount you were paid and show the difference line by line; it does not determine what you are owed.
What changes the result: your own rate, hours, overtime, accrued leave balance, and the payout rules in your employer's written policy.
Privacy: Calculations run in this browser tab. This tool has no input-upload, account, or AI endpoint.

Your entries
The starting rows below are fictional examples. Edit them, replace them with non-sensitive labels and values, or load the sample again. The result is not advice or a source verification.
Amount fields use the same units you enter; the app does not choose a currency. Dates are the ones you provide. Up to 100 rows per run.
Calculated output
What the calculation does
For each line, subtract the entered planned amount from the entered actual amount. The summary adds the plan and actual columns separately, then reports their difference. It does not label a charge valid or decide whether a change was authorized.
Question to keep open: Should you query the check the day it lands, or wait for the next regular payday the employer named?
Boundary: This is user-entered arithmetic, not legal advice or a wage determination. Federal law does not require an immediate final paycheck, and accrued-leave payout depends on state law and your employer's policy. Confirm both, and contact the Wage and Hour Division or your state labor department if the regular payday has passed.
