Formula and methodology

Hours up to threshold are paid at 1x; hours above threshold are paid at the selected multiplier.

46 hours at $20 with a 40-hour threshold and 1.5x gives $980 gross.

Continue with Time and a Half Calculator or Double Time Calculator for the next calculation.

Worked example

46 hours at $20 with a 40-hour threshold and 1.5x gives $980 gross.

The calculator retains working precision and rounds only the displayed values.

Interpret the result carefully

Method boundary: The result is only as reliable as the inputs and stated method.

Inputs, boundary behavior and JavaScript/PHP parity are covered by deterministic release tests.

Use the result for the named task only. Do not stretch it into a legal, clinical, safety or causal conclusion the formula does not support.
