Enter the total pay for employment and the hours worked (hrs) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Regular Rate of Pay. 

Regular Rate of Pay Formula

RRP = TPE / HW

Variables:

  • RRP is the Regular Rate of Pay ($/hr)
  • TPE is the total pay for employment
  • HW is the hours worked (hrs)

To calculate the Regular Rate of Pay, divide the total pay for employment by the hours of work performed.

How to Calculate the Regular Rate of Pay?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Regular Rate of Pay.

  1. First, determine the total pay for employment. 
  2. Next, determine the hours actually worked (hrs). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = RRP = TPE / HW.
  4. Finally, calculate the Regular Rate of Pay.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total pay for employment = 1000

hours actually worked (hrs) = 20
