1. What is Hourly Pay With Overtime?

Hourly pay with overtime calculates total earnings based on regular hours worked at standard rate and overtime hours worked at a premium rate (typically 1.5x the regular rate).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• \( Hours \) — Regular hours worked
• \( Rate \) — Standard hourly rate
• \( OT Hours \) — Overtime hours worked
• \( OT Rate \) — Overtime hourly rate (typically 1.5x regular rate)

Explanation: The equation calculates regular pay and overtime pay separately, then sums them for total earnings.

3. Importance of Pay Calculation

Details: Accurate pay calculation ensures proper compensation for hours worked and compliance with labor laws regarding overtime pay.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter regular hours and hourly rate (required). Overtime hours and rate are optional - if left blank, overtime rate defaults to 1.5x regular rate.
