Format problem calculating salary

[Cdn Hermit]

I want to calculate salary. I enter hours 'from' and 'to' using Format Time: 13:30. Then I add the days in a cell using Format Custom: [h:mm]. I add the four weeks using the format Custom: [h}:mm. So far so good.

How do I take, let say, 149 hours and 3/4 - that is 149.45 - and dividing those hours by 20 and then multiply by $17.75 so that I end up in the cell with a format that will give me $132.91.

Thank you

Stop: 3/4 is .75 so 149 and 3/4 hours would be 149.75

The formula would be =(149.75/20)*17.75

or, better, refer to the cells containing those various values. My calculator gave me $132.90, for what that's worth.

(What, by the way, is the source of the 20?)

@mathetesHello, 3/4 of kan hour is really 45 minutes as there are 60 minutes in an hour.

The 20 is just the numbe to use to calculte the holiday to pay, it is based on  the last 4 weeks of paid hours.

Yes, but 149.45 is a decimal number: 149 and 45/100, not 149 and 45/60.

As a decimal number, you should use 149.75 since .75 = 75/100 = 3/4.

It's different if you use time format: 149:45 is indeed 149 and 45/60. But that is not what you used in your calculation.
