Formula Used

The time card calculator uses the following formulas to calculate pay:

Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Rate

Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × 1.5)

Total Earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

These formulas ensure accurate pay calculation based on standard time and a half for overtime.

Worked Example

Let's look at a practical example to demonstrate how the time card calculator works:

Scenario

  • Employee Name: John Smith
  • Date Range: January 1-7, 2023
  • Regular Hours: 40 hours
  • Overtime Hours: 10 hours
  • Hourly Rate: $25/hour

Calculation

  1. Regular Pay = 40 hours × $25/hour = $1,000
  2. Overtime Pay = 10 hours × ($25/hour × 1.5) = $375
  3. Total Earnings = $1,000 + $375 = $1,375

Using the calculator with these inputs would produce the same results, showing John Smith's total earnings for the week as $1,375.

Exporting to Excel

The time card calculator allows you to export your time tracking data to Excel for further analysis or record-keeping. Here's how to do it:

  1. Complete the time card calculation as described in the "How to Use" section.
  2. Click the "Export to Excel" button located below the results.
  3. A CSV file will be generated and downloaded to your device.
  4. Open the CSV file with Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program.
