Regular Pay: Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
Overtime Pay: Hourly Rate × Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate
Total Pay: Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
Where:
- Hourly Rate is the employee's standard pay rate per hour.
- Regular Hours are the standard hours worked in a pay period.
- Overtime Hours are hours worked beyond the standard workweek.
- Overtime Rate is typically 1.5 times the standard hourly rate.
Worked Example
Let's walk through a practical example to demonstrate how the time card calculator works.
Scenario
An employee works 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours in a pay period. Their hourly rate is $20, and the overtime rate is 1.5 times the standard rate.
Calculation
- Regular Pay = $20 × 40 = $800
- Overtime Pay = $20 × 5 × 1.5 = $150
- Total Pay = $800 + $150 = $950
The calculator will display these results, along with a visual breakdown of the pay components.
