Formula

The 1728 Time Card Calculator uses the following formulas to determine pay:

Regular Pay Calculation

Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Wage

Overtime Pay Calculation

Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × Hourly Wage × Overtime Rate

Where Overtime Hours = Total Hours Worked - 40 (if > 40) or 0 (if ≤ 40)

Total Pay Calculation

Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
