How to calculate the salary of a temporary employee?

The salary of a temporary employee can be calculated using the following formulas:

  1. Gross Salary Calculation: The gross salary is calculated by multiplying the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per week and the number of weeks worked.

    Formula: §§ \text{Gross Salary} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Hours per Week} \times \text{Number of Weeks} §§

    where:

    • § \text{Gross Salary} § — total earnings before deductions
    • § \text{Hourly Rate} § — the amount paid for each hour of work
    • § \text{Hours per Week} § — the total hours worked in a week
    • § \text{Number of Weeks} § — the total number of weeks worked

    Example:

    • Hourly Rate (§ \text{Hourly Rate} §): $20
    • Hours per Week (§ \text{Hours per Week} §): 40
    • Number of Weeks (§ \text{Number of Weeks} §): 4

    Gross Salary: §§ \text{Gross Salary} = 20 \times 40 \times 4 = 3200 \text{ USD} §§

  2. Net Salary Calculation: The net salary is calculated by subtracting taxes and adding any additional payments to the gross salary.

    Formula: §§ \text{Net Salary} = \text{Gross Salary} \times (1 - \text{Taxes}) + \text{Bonuses} §§

    where:

    • § \text{Net Salary} § — total earnings after deductions
    • § \text{Taxes} § — the percentage of gross salary deducted for taxes
    • § \text{Bonuses} § — any additional payments received

    Example:

    • Gross Salary (§ \text{Gross Salary} §): $3200
    • Taxes (§ \text{Taxes} §): 15% (0.15)
    • Bonuses (§ \text{Bonuses} §): $100

    Net Salary: §§ \text{Net Salary} = 3200 \times (1 - 0.15) + 100 = 2720 + 100 = 2820 \text{ USD} §§
