Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas to determine your pay:

Regular Pay: Hourly Wage × Regular Hours × Days Worked

Overtime Pay: Hourly Wage × 1.5 × Overtime Hours

Total Pay: Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

Lunch Deduction: (Lunch Duration / 60) × Hourly Wage × Days Worked

Net Pay: Total Pay - Lunch Deduction

The calculator assumes that lunch breaks are paid but deducted from your total pay. Overtime is calculated at 1.5 times your regular hourly wage.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a paycheck for an employee with the following details:

Hourly Wage: $15.00
Regular Hours per Day: 8 hours
Days Worked: 5 days
Lunch Duration: 30 minutes
Overtime Hours: 2 hours

Using the formulas above:

Regular Pay: $15 × 8 × 5 = $600
Overtime Pay: $15 × 1.5 × 2 = $45
Total Pay: $600 + $45 = $645
Lunch Deduction: (30/60) × $15 × 5 = $37.50
Net Pay: $645 - $37.50 = $607.50

This example shows that the employee would earn $607.50 after deductions for a typical week.
