Managing payroll can be complex, especially when dealing with overtime. To simplify the process, we present a Weighted Overtime Calculator. This tool allows you to quickly determine the total pay for a given set of regular and overtime hours.
Formula: The total pay is calculated using the formula: Total Pay=Regular Hours×Hourly Rate+Overtime Hours×(Hourly Rate×1.5)Total Pay=Regular Hours×Hourly Rate+Overtime Hours×(Hourly Rate×1.5)
How to Use:
- Enter the regular hours worked in the “Regular Hours” field.
- Input the hourly rate in the “Hourly Rate” field.
- Specify the number of overtime hours in the “Overtime Hours” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to obtain the total pay.
Example: Suppose an employee worked 40 regular hours at $20 per hour and 10 overtime hours. The calculation would be: \text{Total Pay} = 40 \times 20 + 10 \times (20 \times 1.5) = $800 + $300 = $1100
FAQs:
- What is regular pay? Regular pay is the amount an employee earns for their standard working hours at the regular hourly rate.
