How to calculate your total pay?

The total pay can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Pay (TP) is calculated as:

§§ TP = (HR \times WH) + (OR \times OH) §§

where:

  • § TP § — total pay
  • § HR § — hourly rate
  • § WH § — worked hours
  • § OR § — overtime rate
  • § OH § — overtime hours

This formula allows you to calculate your total earnings by considering both your regular hours and any overtime worked.

Example:

  • Hourly Rate (§ HR §): $20
  • Worked Hours (§ WH §): 40
  • Overtime Hours (§ OH §): 5
  • Overtime Rate (§ OR §): $30

Total Pay:

§§ TP = (20 \times 40) + (30 \times 5) = 800 + 150 = 950 §$
