Formula Explained

The 1728 time card calculation follows this formula:

Total Earnings = (Regular Hours × Hourly Wage) + (Overtime Hours × (Hourly Wage × Overtime Rate))

Where:

  • Regular Hours = Total hours worked without overtime
  • Hourly Wage = Your base pay rate per hour
  • Overtime Hours = Hours worked beyond regular hours
  • Overtime Rate = Typically 1.5 times the hourly wage

The 1728 in the time card refers to the standard 40-hour workweek multiplied by 42 (the number of hours in a week).

Worked Example

Let's calculate a 1728 time card for an employee earning $20/hour with 80 regular hours and 10 overtime hours.

Total Earnings = (80 × $20) + (10 × ($20 × 1.5)) Total Earnings = $1,600 + ($300) Total Earnings = $1,900

This example shows a total of $1,900 for the 2-week period.

Category Calculation Amount
Regular Pay 80 hours × $20/hour $1,600
Overtime Pay 10 hours × ($20 × 1.5) $300
Total Earnings $1,600 + $300 $1,900
