Formulas Used in the Calculator

Here is the step by step calculation

1. Regular Pay (Monthly)

Calculates the base pay for standard working hours.

Formula:

Regular Pay=(Regular Hours/Day×Days Worked/Week×4)×Base Pay Rate\text{Regular Pay} = \left(\text{Regular Hours/Day} \times \text{Days Worked/Week} \times 4\right) \times \text{Base Pay Rate}

 

2. Overtime Pay (Monthly)

Calculates extra earnings for overtime hours.

Formula:

Overtime Pay=Overtime Hours×Base Pay Rate×Overtime Multiplier\text{Overtime Pay} = \text{Overtime Hours} \times \text{Base Pay Rate} \times \text{Overtime Multiplier}

 

3. Total Allowances (Monthly)

Sums meal and transportation allowances.

Formula:

Total Allowances=(Meal Allowance/Day×Days Worked/Week×4)+(Transport Allowance/Week×4)\text{Total Allowances} = \left(\text{Meal Allowance/Day} \times \text{Days Worked/Week} \times 4\right) + \left(\text{Transport Allowance/Week} \times 4\right)

4. Gross Pay (Before Deductions)

Total earnings before taxes and deductions.

Formula:

Gross Pay=Regular Pay+Overtime Pay+Total Allowances+Bonus Amount\text{Gross Pay} = \text{Regular Pay} + \text{Overtime Pay} + \text{Total Allowances} + \text{Bonus Amount}

5. Tax Deduction

Calculates tax based on a percentage of gross pay.

Formula:

Tax Deduction=Gross Pay×(Tax Percentage100)\text{Tax Deduction} = \text{Gross Pay} \times \left(\frac{\text{Tax Percentage}}{100}\right)

6. Net Pay (Take-Home Salary)

Final earnings after all deductions.

Formula:

Net Pay=Gross Pay-Tax Deduction-Other Deductions\text{Net Pay} = \text{Gross Pay} - \text{Tax Deduction} - \text{Other Deductions}

Example Calculation

Given:

  • Base Pay Rate: $15/hr
  • Regular Hours/Day: 8 hrs
  • Days Worked/Week: 5 days
  • Overtime Hours/Month: 20 hrs
  • Overtime Multiplier: 1.5x
  • Meal Allowance: $5/day
  • Transport Allowance: $20/week
  • Tax Rate: 10%
  • Other Deductions: $50

Calculations:

  1. Regular Pay:

Regular Pay=(8×5×4)×15=160×15=$2,400\text{Regular Pay} = (8 \times 5 \times 4) \times 15 = 160 \times 15 = \$2,\!400

  1. Overtime Pay:

Overtime Pay=20×15×1.5=$450\text{Overtime Pay} = 20 \times 15 \times 1.5 = \$450

  1. Total Allowances:

Total Allowances=(5×5×4)+(20×4)=100+80=$180\text{Total Allowances} = (5 \times 5 \times 4) + (20 \times 4) = 100 + 80 = \$180

  1. Gross Pay:

Gross Pay=2,400+450+180=$3,030\text{Gross Pay} = 2,\!400 + 450 + 180 = \$3,\!030

  1. Tax Deduction:

Tax Deduction=Gross Pay×0.10=3,030×0.10=$303\text{Tax Deduction} = \text{Gross Pay} \times 0.10 = 3,\!030 \times 0.10 = \$303

  1. Net Pay:

Net Pay=Gross Pay-Tax Deduction-Other Deductions=3,030-303-50=$2,677\text{Net Pay} = \text{Gross Pay} - \text{Tax Deduction} - \text{Other Deductions} = 3,\!030 - 303 - 50 = \$2,\!677

Final Take-Home Salary: $2,677/month
