How to Use This Calculator

Formula Explained
The calculation for semi-monthly pay with overtime is straightforward:
Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × 1.5))
This formula accounts for both regular pay and overtime pay, which is calculated at 1.5 times the regular rate for hours worked beyond the standard workweek.
Worked Example
Let's look at a practical example to understand how this works:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Hourly Rate | $20.00 |
| Regular Hours | 80 |
| Overtime Hours | 10 |
Using the formula:
Total Pay = (80 × $20.00) + (10 × ($20.00 × 1.5))
= ($1,600.00) + ($300.00)
= $1,900.00
So for this example, the total pay would be $1,900.00 for the pay period.
