Formula Explained

The time card calculator uses the following formulas to calculate pay:

Regular Pay = Hourly Wage × Regular Hours

Overtime Pay = Hourly Wage × Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate

Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

Where:

Hourly Wage - The employee's regular hourly pay rate
Regular Hours - Hours worked up to the standard workweek (typically 40 hours)
Overtime Hours - Hours worked beyond the standard workweek
Overtime Rate - Typically 1.5 times the regular rate

Worked Examples

Example 1: Standard Workweek

An employee works 40 hours in a week at $15 per hour.

Regular Pay = $15 × 40 = $600
Overtime Pay = $0 (no overtime hours)
Total Pay = $600

Example 2: With Overtime

An employee works 45 hours in a week at $15 per hour with overtime calculated at 1.5 times the regular rate.

Regular Pay = $15 × 40 = $600
Overtime Pay = $15 × 5 × 1.5 = $112.50
Total Pay = $600 + $112.50 = $712.50
