Formula Explained

The calculator uses the following formulas to determine your pay:

Regular Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay Net Pay = Gross Pay - Deductions

These formulas provide a clear breakdown of your earnings and deductions for the 15-day pay period.

Worked Example

Let's calculate pay for an employee who works 80 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at $15 per hour with a 1.5 overtime rate and $50 in deductions.

Regular Pay = $15 × 80 = $1,200 Overtime Pay = $15 × 1.5 × 10 = $225 Gross Pay = $1,200 + $225 = $1,425 Net Pay = $1,425 - $50 = $1,375

This example shows how the calculator breaks down the pay calculation for a typical 15-day pay period.
