How to Calculate Your Net Salary with Mileage Reimbursement
This calculator allows you to compute your net salary by taking into account various factors such as your base salary, working hours, hourly rate, mileage, mileage reimbursement rate, taxes, and any additional deductions.
The formula for calculating your total earnings is:
§§ \text{Total Earnings} = \text{Base Salary} + (\text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Working Hours}) + (\text{Mileage} \times \text{Mileage Rate}) §§
where:
- § \text{Total Earnings} § — the total amount you earn before deductions
- § \text{Base Salary} § — your fixed salary
- § \text{Hourly Rate} § — the amount you earn per hour
- § \text{Working Hours} § — the total hours worked
- § \text{Mileage} § — the distance traveled for work purposes
- § \text{Mileage Rate} § — the reimbursement rate per mile
Next, calculate the total deductions:
§§ \text{Total Deductions} = \left(\text{Total Earnings} \times \frac{\text{Taxes}}{100}\right) + \text{Additional Deductions} §§
where:
- § \text{Total Deductions} § — the total amount deducted from your earnings
- § \text{Taxes} § — the percentage of your earnings that goes to taxes
- § \text{Additional Deductions} § — any other deductions you may have
Finally, calculate your net salary:
§§ \text{Net Salary} = \text{Total Earnings} - \text{Total Deductions} §§
where:
- § \text{Net Salary} § — the amount you take home after all deductions
Example Calculation
Input Values:
- Base Salary: $3000
- Working Hours: 160
- Hourly Rate: $20
- Mileage: 100 miles
- Mileage Rate: $0.5
- Taxes: 20%
- Additional Deductions: $100
Calculating Total Earnings:
- Total Earnings = $3000 + ($20 × 160) + (100 × $0.5)
- Total Earnings = $3000 + $3200 + $50 = $6250
Calculating Total Deductions:
- Total Deductions = ($6250 × 0.20) + $100
- Total Deductions = $1250 + $100 = $1350
Calculating Net Salary:
- Net Salary = $6250 - $1350 = $4900
