Explanation: The formula calculates gross pay first (hours × rate), then subtracts all applicable deductions to arrive at net pay.
Details: Accurate net pay calculation helps employees understand their actual take-home pay, budget effectively, and verify payroll accuracy. In Florida, the absence of state income tax simplifies the calculation compared to other states.
Tips: Enter total hours worked, hourly rate in USD, and total deductions. All values must be non-negative. For overtime calculations, include overtime hours separately with appropriate rates.
