Formula Used

Regular Hours Calculation

Regular hours are calculated as the minimum of hours worked and 8 hours:

Regular Hours = min(Hours Worked, 8)

Overtime Hours Calculation

Overtime hours are calculated when hours worked exceed 8 hours:

Overtime Hours = max(Hours Worked - 8, 0)

Total Pay Calculation

Total pay is calculated as:

Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Wage) + (Overtime Hours × Hourly Wage × Overtime Rate)

By default, the overtime rate is 1.5 times the regular hourly wage, but you can adjust this in the calculator.

Worked Example

Let's calculate pay for an employee who worked 10 hours with an hourly wage of $15 and default overtime rate of 1.5.

Regular hours: min(10, 8) = 8 hours
Overtime hours: max(10 - 8, 0) = 2 hours
Regular pay: 8 × $15 = $120
Overtime pay: 2 × $15 × 1.5 = $45
Total pay: $120 + $45 = $165

This example shows how the calculator breaks down the pay for hours worked beyond the standard 8-hour workday.
