How to Use This Calculator

Using this time card calculator is simple:

  1. Enter your hourly wage in the "Hourly Rate" field
  2. Input the number of regular hours worked in the "Regular Hours" field
  3. Enter any overtime hours in the "Overtime Hours" field

  5. Click "Calculate" to see your biweekly pay

The calculator will show your regular pay, overtime pay, and total biweekly earnings. You can also see a breakdown of how much you earn each pay period.

Formula Used

The calculator uses these formulas to determine your pay:

Regular Pay

Regular Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours

Overtime Pay

Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Overtime Hours × Overtime Multiplier

Total Biweekly Pay

Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

For example, if you work 40 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at 1.5x, the calculation would be:

Regular Pay = $15 × 40 = $600
Overtime Pay = $15 × 10 × 1.5 = $225
Total Pay = $600 + $225 = $825

Note

This calculator assumes a standard biweekly pay period (every two weeks). For different pay schedules, you may need to adjust the hours accordingly.

Worked Example

Let's calculate pay for an employee with these details:

  • Hourly Rate: $20
  • Regular Hours: 80
  • Overtime Hours: 10
  • Overtime Multiplier: 1.5x

Calculation Steps

  1. Regular Pay = $20 × 80 = $1,600
  2. Overtime Pay = $20 × 10 × 1.5 = $300
  3. Total Pay = $1,600 + $300 = $1,900

So this employee would earn $1,900 for their biweekly pay period.

Pay Period Breakdown

Pay Period Regular Pay Overtime Pay Total Pay
Week 1 $800 $150 $950
Week 2 $800 $150 $950
Biweekly Total $1,600 $300 $1,900

Frequently Asked Questions

How does overtime work in biweekly pay periods?
Overtime is calculated separately from regular hours. In a biweekly pay period, you typically earn 1.5x or 2.0x your regular rate for any hours worked beyond your standard schedule.
What's the difference between standard and double overtime?
Standard overtime is typically 1.5x your regular rate, while double overtime is 2.0x. Double overtime is usually paid for hours worked beyond a certain threshold, often after 8 hours of standard overtime.
How accurate is this calculator for different pay structures?
This calculator provides a general estimate. For precise pay calculations, consult your employer's pay stubs or consult a payroll professional, especially if you have complex pay structures or deductions.
Can I use this for salaried positions?
This calculator is designed for hourly employees. Salaried positions typically have different overtime rules and may require a different calculation method.
What if I work different shifts or have varying hours?
For varying hours, you can adjust the regular and overtime hours accordingly. The calculator will still provide an accurate estimate of your pay.
