Thomas Martin receives an hourly wage rate of $23, with time and a half for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours during a week. Payroll data for the current week are as follows: hours worked, 46; federal income tax withheld, $358; social security tax rate, 6.0%; and Medicare tax rate, 1.5%. What is the gross pay for Martin?

Answer 1

Gross Pay is before deductions do you can ignore the taxes

If he worked 46 hours that means 6 hours are at time and a half.

(40 x 23) + (6 x 23 x 1.5) = 920 + 207 = 1127

Martin’s gross pay is $1,127
