Formula Used

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

Regular Pay = Hours Worked × Hourly Rate Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × 1.5) Total Earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

Where:

  • Hours Worked = Regular hours worked
  • Hourly Rate = Your pay rate per hour
  • Overtime Hours = Hours worked beyond regular hours (if applicable)

Overtime is calculated at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.

Worked Example

Let's say you work 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at $15 per hour. Here's how the calculation works:

Regular Pay = 40 hours × $15/hour = $600 Overtime Pay = 5 hours × ($15/hour × 1.5) = $112.50 Total Earnings = $600 + $112.50 = $712.50

Your total earnings for this pay period would be $712.50.
