1. What is the Hourly Paycheck Calculator With Overtime?

The Hourly Paycheck Calculator With Overtime calculates total earnings for hourly employees, including regular pay and overtime pay at 1.5 times the regular rate. It provides an accurate assessment of total compensation for a pay period.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the paycheck formula:

\[ Paycheck = (Regular Hours \times Regular Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours \times Regular Hourly Rate \times 1.5) \]

Where:

\( Overtime Hours \) — Number of overtime hours worked
