Worked Examples
Example 1: Full-Time Employee
A full-time employee earns $20 per hour and works 40 hours per week.
- Hourly Wage: $20
- Hours Worked: 40
- Pay Period: Weekly
Gross Pay: $20 × 40 = $800
Assuming typical deductions of 25%, Net Pay: $800 - ($800 × 0.25) = $600
Example 2: Part-Time Employee
A part-time employee earns $15 per hour and works 20 hours per week.
- Hourly Wage: $15
- Hours Worked: 20
- Pay Period: Weekly
Gross Pay: $15 × 20 = $300
Assuming typical deductions of 25%, Net Pay: $300 - ($300 × 0.25) = $225
