Scenario
Regular Hourly Rate: $25.00/hour
Regular Hours: 40 hours/week
Overtime Hours: 10 hours/week
Overtime Multiplier: 1.5× (time and a half)
Step 1: Calculate Regular Pay
Formula: Regular Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
Calculation: $25.00 × 40 hours = $1,000.00
Step 2: Calculate Overtime Hourly Rate
Formula: Overtime Rate = Regular Rate × Multiplier
Calculation: $25.00 × 1.5 = $37.50/hour
Step 3: Calculate Overtime Pay
Formula: Overtime Pay = Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours
Calculation: $37.50 × 10 hours = $375.00
Step 4: Calculate Total Pay
Formula: Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
Calculation: $1,000.00 + $375.00 = $1,375.00/week
Annual Estimate: $1,375.00 × 52 weeks = $71,500.00/year
