Mathematical Formula & Step-by-Step Guide
Primary mathematical equation used by this model:
Total Weekly Pay = (RegHrs × Rate) + (OTHrs × Rate × 1.5) + (DTHrs × Rate × 2.0)
- Configure your primary input (Regular Hourly Wage ($/hr), baseline set to 28.5) using either the direct numeric box or synchronized range slider.
- Adjust the remaining parameters (Regular Hours Worked, 1.5x Overtime Hours, 2.0x Double-Time Hours) to mirror your exact scenario.
