Enter Regular Hours Worked per Week: Input the total number of regular hours you work each week.
Enter Overtime Hours Worked per Week (if applicable): Input the total number of overtime hours worked per week.
Enter Overtime Rate (if applicable): This is the multiplier for your overtime pay rate (e.g., 1.5 for time and a half).
Compute Weekly Gross Income: Use the formula:
Weekly Gross Income = (Hourly Wage * Regular Hours Worked per Week) + (Hourly Wage * Overtime Rate * Overtime Hours Worked per Week)
Calculate Annual Gross Income (excluding additional income):
Enter Weeks Worked per Year: Typically 52, but adjust if necessary.
Compute Annual Gross Income (excluding additional income): Use the formula:
Annual Gross Income (excluding additional income) = Weekly Gross Income * Weeks Worked per Year
Calculate Total Annual Gross Income:
Enter Annual Bonus or Additional Income: Input any additional income or bonuses received annually.
Compute Total Annual Gross Income: Use the formula:
Total Annual Gross Income = Annual Gross Income (excluding additional income) + Annual Bonus or Additional Income
Real-Life Example:
Let's say you earn $20 per hour, work 40 regular hours each week, and have 5 overtime hours per week with an overtime rate of 1.5. You also receive a $2,000 annual bonus and work 52 weeks a year.
Weekly Gross Income:
Weekly Gross Income = (20 * 40) + (20 * 1.5 * 5) = 800 + 150 = 950
Annual Gross Income (excluding additional income):
Annual Gross Income (excluding additional income) = 950 * 52 = 49,400
Total Annual Gross Income:
Total Annual Gross Income = 49,400 + 2,000 = 51,400
Facts:
Overtime Pay:
Overtime pay is usually calculated at a higher rate than regular hours. Commonly, this is time and a half (1.5 times the regular hourly rate), but it can vary by company and jurisdiction.
Annual Bonus:
Additional income like bonuses can significantly affect your total annual earnings. Always include these in your total income calculations for a complete picture.
Work Weeks:
The standard number of weeks worked per year is 52, but this can be adjusted based on vacation, unpaid leave, or other factors.
FAQ:
What if I don’t have overtime hours?
Simply enter 0 for Overtime Hours Worked per Week and omit the Overtime Rate. Your Weekly Gross Income will be calculated based only on regular hours.
How should I handle varying overtime rates?
If your overtime rate changes, you can adjust it in the formula as needed. Ensure that you use the correct rate for each applicable period.
What if I receive multiple bonuses throughout the year?
Add all bonuses together to get your total Annual Bonus or Additional Income. This total should be used in the final calculation of Total Annual Gross Income.
How do I adjust the number of weeks worked if I have unpaid time off?
Adjust the Weeks Worked per Year input to reflect the actual number of weeks you worked. For example, if you took two weeks off, use 50 instead of 52.
