Python program to calculate gross pay (Hourly paid employee)

Here, we are writing a Python program in which we will calculate the total payments made to the employee per week based on the hours worked. By Shivang Yadav Last updated : January 13, 2024

Problem statement

Write a Python program to calculate gross pay of hourly paid employees.

Constraints:

Total minimum working hours in a week: 40 hours.
Per hour payment: Rs. 300/-
Overtime per hour payment: Rs 450/- (regular hourly payment*1.5).

Calculating gross pay of hourly paid employee

An hourly-paid employee gets a fixed amount on an hourly basis. Let's suppose, the hourly payment of an employee is Rs. 300/-, in that case, employee's per day gross pay will be Rs. 2400/- (if he worked for 8 hours).

To calculate gross pay for hourly paid employees, you need to calculate weekly payment based on the working of 40 hours in a week. If someone works overtime, calculate 1.5 times hourly payments for overtime working hours.

Python program to calculate gross pay of hourly paid employee

# Function to calculate weekly payment
# on hourly basis
def weeklyPayment(total_hours, hourly_pay):
    if total_hours > 40:
        result = 40 * hourly_pay + (total_hours - 40) * hourly_pay * 1.5
    else:
        result = total_hours * hourly_pay
    return result

# Main code
hourly_pay = 300

# Input total number of worked hours
hours_worked = int(input("Enter hours: "))

# Gross pay
gross_pay = weeklyPayment(hours_worked, hourly_pay)

print("The gross payment is:", gross_pay)

Output

RUN 1:
Enter hours: 40
The gross payment is: 12000

RUN 2:
Enter hours: 50
The gross payment is: 16500.0

RUN 3:
Enter hours: 25
The gross payment is: 7500

To understand the above program, you should have the basic knowledge of the following Python topics:
