Most of what lands in this inbox is a total that looks off, a clock-in and clock-out pair that did not add up the way the calculator says, or an overtime figure that disagrees with a reader's own arithmetic. If that is why you are writing, send the calculator you used, the exact times and break length you entered, what the tool showed, and what you worked out by hand instead. With those four things Chris can usually rerun the math the same day and either fix the page or point to the specific rounding or workweek assumption that explains the gap.
We cannot review your actual timesheet, your employer's rounding policy, or your pay stub, or tell you whether your employer owes you back pay. That is a question for your payroll department, your state labor agency, or an employment attorney. What we can do is check a calculator's formula against the federal rule or conversion standard it is built on and correct it if it is wrong.
Response time is typically one to two business days. The sourcing rules behind every check are on the editorial standards page.
