Formula Used
Time Card Calculation Formula
The calculator uses the following formulas:
- Regular Hours = Minimum of (Daily Hours, 8) for each day
- Overtime Hours = Daily Hours - 8 (if Daily Hours > 8)
- Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Rate
- Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × 1.5)
- Total Earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
This follows standard US labor laws where overtime is paid at 1.5 times the regular rate for hours worked beyond 8 in a day.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a time card for a week where you worked the following hours:
| Day | Hours Worked |
|---|---|
| Monday | 8 |
| Tuesday | 9 |
| Wednesday | 7 |
| Thursday | 8 |
| Friday | 6 |
With an hourly rate of $15:
- Monday: 8 regular hours ($120)
- Tuesday: 8 regular + 1 overtime ($120 + $15)
- Wednesday: 7 regular hours ($105)
- Thursday: 8 regular hours ($120)
- Friday: 6 regular hours ($90)
Total Earnings: $120 + $135 + $105 + $120 + $90 = $570
