Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate your earnings:

Total Earnings
Total Earnings = (Regular Pay + Overtime Pay) × Number of Weeks
All calculations are rounded to two decimal places for currency values.
Worked Example
Let's say you work 40 hours per week at $15 per hour, and you work 2 overtime hours at $22.50 per hour. Here's how the calculation works:
| Calculation | Value |
|---|---|
| Regular Pay | $15 × 40 = $600 |
| Overtime Pay | $22.50 × 2 = $45 |
| Total Weekly Earnings | $600 + $45 = $645 |
| Total for 1 Week | $645 × 1 = $645 |
So your total earnings for this week would be $645.
