Overtime Earnings Chart Generator Formula
The Overtime Earnings Chart Generator formula is Overtime Earnings = Base Rate × 1.5 × Overtime Hours for each tier of hours.
Earnings per tier
Earnings(h) = Rate × 1.5 × h, for h = 5, 10, 15, 20
Step between tiers
Step = Rate × 1.5 × 5
- Rate
- Base hourly wage.
- h
- Overtime hours tier.

5h = $146.25, 10h = $292.50, 15h = $438.75, 20h = $585.00.
