Formula Used

Regular Pay: Hourly Rate × Regular Hours

Overtime Pay: Hourly Rate × Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate

Total Earnings: Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

This formula assumes standard payroll calculations where overtime is paid at a higher rate than regular hours. The calculator uses these values to provide an accurate payroll result.

Worked Example

Let's calculate earnings for an employee who works 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at $15 per hour with time-and-a-half overtime.

Calculation	Value
Regular Pay	$15 × 40 = $600
Overtime Pay	$15 × 5 × 1.5 = $112.50
Total Earnings	$600 + $112.50 = $712.50

This example shows how the calculator applies the formula to provide a clear breakdown of earnings.
