How to Use the Overtime Pay Calculator

Step 1: Enter Your Regular Hourly Rate

Begin by entering your regular hourly rate in the provided field. This value represents how much you earn per hour under standard working conditions. Make sure you input a positive number greater than or equal to $0.01. The field only accepts numbers and increases in increments of $0.01.

Step 2: Input Your Regular Hours Worked

Next, enter the number of regular hours you worked during the pay period. This is the total number of hours you worked under standard conditions, excluding any overtime hours. You can input any value from 0 up to a maximum of 168 hours, which translates to a full week of work. Ensure the hours are entered in increments of 0.25 hours.

Step 3: Enter Your Overtime Hours Worked

Now, proceed to enter the overtime hours that you worked. These are hours worked beyond your regular hours and are typically paid at a higher rate. You should enter a number between 0 and 128 hours, again using increments of 0.25 hours.

Step 4: Select Your Overtime Rate

Choose your overtime rate from the available options. Your choices are:

• Time and a half (1.5x): You earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for each overtime hour.
• Double time (2x): You earn twice your regular hourly rate for each overtime hour.

Step 5: Calculate Your Pay and Hours

Once all the inputs are provided, the calculator will automatically compute the following:

• Regular Pay: Calculated by multiplying your regular hourly rate with the regular hours worked.
• Overtime Pay: Determined by multiplying your regular hourly rate, overtime hours worked, and the selected overtime rate.
• Total Pay: The sum of your regular and overtime pay.
• Total Hours: The sum of your regular and overtime hours worked.
• Effective Hourly Rate: Your total pay divided by the total hours worked, expressed as an hourly rate.

Step 6: Review Your Calculated Results

The results will be displayed in a formatted manner. Your pay calculations will appear in USD, rounded to two decimal places for accuracy, while hours will also be displayed to two decimal places. This comprehensive calculation will provide a clear view of your earnings and hours worked, helping you assess your income from both regular and overtime work.
