Example Hourly Pay Calculation
For a worker earning $15/hour working 45 hours per week:
- Regular Hours (40): $15 × 40 = $600
- Overtime Hours (5): $15 × 1.5 × 5 = $112.50
- Gross Pay: $600 + $112.50 = $712.50
- Federal Tax: $712.50 × 22% = $156.75
- State Tax: $712.50 × 5.75% = $40.97
- Social Security: $712.50 × 6.2% = $44.18
- Medicare: $712.50 × 1.45% = $10.33
- Net Pay: $712.50 – $252.23 = $460.27
