Formula Used

The time card paycheck calculator uses the following formula to calculate your paycheck:

Total Paycheck = (Regular Hours × Hourly Wage) + (Overtime Hours × (Hourly Wage × 1.5))

Where:

Regular Hours - The number of standard hours worked at your regular pay rate.
Hourly Wage - Your base pay rate per hour.
Overtime Hours - The number of hours worked beyond the standard workweek, typically paid at 1.5 times the hourly wage.

This formula assumes standard overtime pay rules where overtime is paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly wage. Some employers may have different overtime pay rules, so always check your employment contract for specific details.

Worked Examples

Let's look at two examples to see how the time card paycheck calculator works.

Example 1: Standard Workweek

Suppose you work 40 regular hours at $15 per hour with no overtime.

Total Paycheck = (40 × $15) + (0 × ($15 × 1.5)) = $600 + $0 = $600

Example 2: Workweek with Overtime

You work 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at $15 per hour.

Total Paycheck = (40 × $15) + (5 × ($15 × 1.5)) = $600 + $112.50 = $712.50
