Formula Used

The job time card calculator uses the following formulas to calculate your earnings:

Gross Pay Calculation

Gross Pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × Overtime Rate))

Where Overtime Rate is typically 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.

Net Pay Calculation

Net Pay = Gross Pay - Deductions

The calculator assumes standard overtime rates unless specified otherwise. You can adjust the overtime rate in the calculator settings if your employer uses a different rate.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you work at a rate of $20 per hour, work 40 regular hours in a week, and put in 5 overtime hours. Your employer deducts $50 for taxes and insurance.

Enter $20 in the "Hourly Rate" field.
Select "Weekly" from the pay period dropdown.
Enter 40 in the "Regular Hours" field.
Enter 5 in the "Overtime Hours" field.
Enter $50 in the "Deductions" field.
Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show:

Regular Pay: $800 (40 × $20)
Overtime Pay: $150 (5 × ($20 × 1.5))
Gross Pay: $950 ($800 + $150)
Deductions: $50
Net Pay: $900 ($950 - $50)

You can see this breakdown in the chart below the results.
