Unit 2 Individual Project – Payroll: Determine Employee Pay

Business Problem:

You have been hired by a small business to help in the development of their Payroll Application. This initial design will calculate an employee's Gross Pay and Net Pay.

The application will prompt a user for their hourly pay rate, their hours worked, and whether they are single, married, divorced, or widowed.  It will then calculate their Gross and Net Pay. 

If they work 40 hours or less, the application will display their Gross Pay followed by their Net Pay.

If they work more than 40 hours, overtime pay, or the hours above 40, is calculated at 1 ½ times the regular rate. The application will then display their Regular Pay, their Overtime Pay, their Gross Pay (a sum of the Regular Pay and Overtime Pay) and their Net Pay. 

If they are married, use a flat tax rate of 18%. 

If they are single, use 25%.

If they are divorced, use 28%.

If they are widowed, use 15%.

Example of Overtime Pay:

Enter Employee's Hourly Rate: 25

Enter the Employee's Total Hours Worked: 50

Enter the Employee's Marital Status, within quotes (M, S, D, W): "S"

Regular Pay = $1,000.00

Overtime Pay = $375.00

Gross Pay = $1,375.00

Net Pay = $1,031.25

Example of No Overtime Pay:

Enter Employee's Hourly Rate: 25

Enter the Employee's Total Hours Worked: 30

Enter the Employee's Marital Status, within quotes (M, S, D, W): "M"

Gross Pay = $750.00

Net Pay = $615.00
