Calculation method

Blended rate = total straight-time earnings ÷ total straight-time hours.

Example

When an employee works at multiple rates, each rate is weighted by the hours worked at that rate.

The calculator keeps each component visible so you can review inputs instead of relying on one unexplained total.
