How to calculate your total salary with overtime?

The total salary can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Salary (S):

§§ S = (H \times W) + (H \times O \times R) §§

where:

  • § S § — total salary
  • § H § — hourly rate
  • § W § — hours worked
  • § O § — overtime hours
  • § R § — overtime rate (multiplier)

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

Example:

  • Hourly Rate (§ H §): $20
  • Hours Worked (§ W §): 40
  • Overtime Hours (§ O §): 5
  • Overtime Rate (§ R §): 1.5

Total Salary Calculation:

§§ S = (20 \times 40) + (20 \times 1.5 \times 5) = 800 + 150 = 950 §$

When to use the Hourly Salary Calculator with Overtime?

  • Hours Worked (W): The total number of hours worked in a pay period.
  • Overtime Hours (O): The number of hours worked beyond the standard workweek, typically over 40 hours in the U.S.
  • Overtime Rate (R): A multiplier applied to the hourly rate for overtime hours, often set at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.
