Enter your hourly wage in the "Hourly Wage" field.

Formula Used

The time card calculator uses the following formulas to calculate your earnings:

Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Wage

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

Total Earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

Overtime is calculated at 1.5 times your regular hourly wage, which is the standard rate for most jurisdictions.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you earn $20 per hour and work 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours in a pay period.

Regular Pay = 40 hours × $20/hour = $800

Overtime Pay = 5 hours × ($20/hour × 1.5) = $150

Total Earnings = $800 + $150 = $950

Using the calculator with these inputs would show you a total earnings of $950, with $800 from regular hours and $150 from overtime.
