How the Calculator Determines Pay

1. Calculate Regular Pay

Regular Pay=Hourly Rate×Regular Hours\text{Regular Pay} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Regular Hours}Regular Pay=Hourly Rate×Regular Hours

2. Calculate Overtime Pay

Overtime Pay=Overtime Hours×Overtime Rate\text{Overtime Pay} = \text{Overtime Hours} \times \text{Overtime Rate}Overtime Pay=Overtime Hours×Overtime Rate

3. Sum Gross Pay

Gross Pay=Regular Pay+Overtime Pay\text{Gross Pay} = \text{Regular Pay} + \text{Overtime Pay}Gross Pay=Regular Pay+Overtime Pay

4. Subtract Deductions

Net Pay=Gross Pay−Deductions\text{Net Pay} = \text{Gross Pay} – \text{Deductions}Net Pay=Gross Pay−Deductions

5. Provide Pay Summary
   Outputs gross, net, and breakdown for each pay period.

Practical Example

Scenario:

• Hourly Rate: $20
• Hours Worked: 40
• Overtime Hours: 5 (1.5x rate)
• Deductions: $50
• Pay Period: Weekly

Step 1: Regular pay
$20 × 40 = $800

Step 2: Overtime pay
$20 × 1.5 × 5 = $150

Step 3: Gross pay
$800 + $150 = $950

Step 4: Net pay
$950 – $50 = $900
