We describe the spectrum and the essential spectrum and give an index formula for Wiener-Hopf integral operators with piecewise continuous symbols on the space Lp(R+,?) with a Muckenhoupt weight ?. Our main result says that the essential spectrum is a set resulting from the essential range of the symbol by joining the two endpoints of each jump by a certain sickle-shaped domain, whose shape is completely determined by the value of p and the behavior of the weight ? at the origin and at infinity.
