Formula Used

The calculation is based on the following formula:

Total Earnings = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate)

Where:

Regular Hours - Hours worked up to the standard workweek (typically 40 hours).
Hourly Rate - Your standard pay rate per hour.
Overtime Hours - Hours worked beyond the regular hours.
Overtime Rate - Typically 1.5 times the hourly rate for overtime.

This formula accounts for both regular pay and overtime pay, providing a comprehensive view of your total earnings.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the calculator works. Suppose you work 45 hours in a week at an hourly rate of $20.

Regular hours: 40 hours
Overtime hours: 5 hours (45 total hours - 40 regular hours)
Hourly rate: $20
Overtime rate: $30 (1.5 × $20)

Using the formula:

Total Earnings = (40 × $20) + (5 × $30) = $800 + $150 = $950

So, your total earnings for the week would be $950.
