How to Use This Calculator

Using this money calculator is simple. Follow these steps:

Formula Used

The calculation is based on the following formula:

Total Earnings = (Hourly Rate × Regular Hours) + (Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours)

Where:

  • Hourly Rate - Your standard pay rate per hour
  • Regular Hours - Number of standard hours worked
  • Overtime Rate - Typically 1.5 times the hourly rate
  • Overtime Hours - Additional hours worked beyond regular hours

For example, if you work 40 regular hours at $15/hour and 5 overtime hours at $22.50/hour (1.5 × $15), your total earnings would be $15 × 40 + $22.50 × 5 = $612.50.

Worked Example

Let's say you work as a freelance graphic designer:

  • Hourly Rate: $30
  • Regular Hours: 35
  • Overtime Hours: 5
  • Overtime Rate: $45 (1.5 × $30)

Calculation:

Total Earnings = ($30 × 35) + ($45 × 5) = $1,050 + $225 = $1,275

Your total earnings for the week would be $1,275.
