Formula used
- Regular pay = regular hourly rate × regular hours
- Overtime pay = regular hourly rate × overtime hours × overtime multiplier
- Double time pay = regular hourly rate × double time hours × double time multiplier
- Gross pay = regular pay + overtime pay + double time pay + bonus
- Taxable income = max(0, gross pay − pre‑tax deductions)
- Estimated tax = taxable income × tax rate
- Net pay = taxable income − estimated tax − post‑tax deductions
