Formula Used

Net Pay: Gross Pay - Deductions
This formula provides a clear breakdown of your earnings and deductions for each pay period.
Worked Example
Let's say you work 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at $15/hour with a 1.5x overtime rate and $50 in deductions:
Regular Pay: $15 × 40 = $600
Overtime Pay: $15 × 5 × 1.5 = $112.50
Gross Pay: $600 + $112.50 = $712.50
Net Pay: $712.50 - $50 = $662.50
This example shows how the calculator breaks down your earnings and deductions for a typical workweek.
