How It Works
The Time Card Calculator Plus Overtime uses the following formula to calculate your total earnings:
Formula
Total Earnings = (Regular Hours × Regular Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate)
Where:
- Regular Hours - The number of hours worked at your regular rate.
- Regular Rate - Your standard hourly wage.
- Overtime Hours - The number of hours worked beyond your regular hours.
- Overtime Rate - Your hourly wage for overtime hours (typically 1.5 times your regular rate).
The calculator adds your regular pay and overtime pay to give you your total gross earnings.
Example Calculation
Let's say you work 40 regular hours at $15 per hour and 10 overtime hours at $22.50 per hour (1.5 times your regular rate). Here's how the calculation works:
Example
Regular Pay = 40 hours × $15/hour = $600
Overtime Pay = 10 hours × $22.50/hour = $225
Total Earnings = $600 + $225 = $825
Using our calculator, you would enter:
- Regular Rate: $15
- Regular Hours: 40
- Overtime Rate: $22.50
- Overtime Hours: 10
The calculator will show you that your total earnings are $825.
