I. Title: Salary and Overtime Pay Computation Using E-Spreadsheet & Presenting Graphical Representation
Here’s how.
Step 1: Open a new blank excel spreadsheet. Go to Search Box. Type “Excel” and double click on the match
found under the search box to open a blank excel file.
Step 2: Save the file on the location you want your payroll to be saved.
Step 3: In this newly created file where all your employee payroll information would be stored, therefore,
create some column with names which can hold the values for the certain parameters/variables. Enter the
column names in the following hierarchy.
Pay/Hour (column B): Contains per hour pay rate to the employee without any currency symbol.
Total Hours Worked (column C): Contains total hours worked by an employee in a day.
Overtime/Hour (column D): Overtime rate per hour without any currency symbol.
Total Overtime Hours (Column E): Number of hours employees overtime in a day.
Gross Pay (column F): Payable amount to the employee without any deductibles.
Step 4: Add the details column-wise like Employee Name in column A, a number of hours worked and
hourly paying rate, etc. See the figure below for better understanding.
In this example, the Total Hours Worked and Total Overtime Hours are considered on a monthly
basis since employees are paid on monthly basis also. Therefore 160 means total hours worked during the
month. Same is the case with total overtime hours. Also, the Pay per Hour and Overtime Pay per Hour are in
Philippine peso.
Step 5: Formulate Gross Pay. Gross Pay is the sum of the product of Pay per Hour & Total Worked Hours, and
Overtime Pay per Hour & Total Overtime Hours. (Pay per Hour * Total Hours Worked) + (Overtime Pay per
Hour * Total Overtime Hours). In the payroll sheet, it can be formulated under cell F2 as =(B2*C2)+(D2*E2),
based on the formula of Gross Pay. However, you can see the figure below for better understanding.
Step 6: In order to calculate the Income Tax, you need to check how much percentage of tax your employee
pays on the total gross pay. Income Tax is always calculated on Gross Pay. In this case, we will consider 15%
of Income Tax on all the Gross Pay. The formula for Income Tax, therefore, becomes as 0.15 * Gross Pay.
which in terms of excel payroll sheet can be formulated under cell G2 as =0.15*F2 (Column F contains Gross
Pay amount).
Step 7: You have to mention other deductibles if there is any for a particular employee. These deductibles may
contain the premium of health/life insurance, professional taxes, Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) amount if
any loan is taken from an organization, etc. add these amount values under column H. If there is no other
deductible for a particular employee, you can set the value under column H for that employee to zero. You may
also make separate columns for each of the deductibles if you opt to.
Step 8: Now, let us have the Net Pay. Net Pay is the amount that gets credited into your employee’s bank
account after all the deductions from Gross Pay. Therefore, in this case, we will deduct (subtract) Income Tax
(column G) and Other Deductibles (Column H) which can be formulated under cell I2 as =F2-(G2+H2). Here,
Income Tax and Other Deductibles are summed up and then subtracted from Gross Pay. See the figure below
for better understanding.
Graphical representation refers to the use of charts and graphs to visually display, analyze, clarify, and
interpret numerical data, functions, and other qualitative structures.
In your previous modules, you have learned that there are different salary deductions such as premium of
health/life insurance such as SSS/GSIS, professional taxes, Equated Monthly Installment amount if any loan is
taken from an organization, and such. And in your Lesson 6.1, you have learned that these particulars of salary
can be computed using E-spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel.
In this lesson, you will get to know another function of Microsoft Excel. And that is, to use it in creating and
presenting graphical representations of the data, specifically the details or particulars of salary.
There are different types of graphs/charts in Microsoft Excel, you only need to choose which is most suitable
for the data it would represent. For particulars of salary, it would be best to use Pie Chart.
Here’s how.
1. Let’s recall the last step in the process of computing net pay using e-spreadsheet.
2. Select the particulars of salary you would want to present. For example, if want to present Patrick’s gross
pay, you must select his income tax (cell G4), his other deductibles (cell H4), and his net pay (cell I4).
And to add label, you must select Income Tax (cell G1), Other Deductibles (cell H1), and Net Pay (cell I1). But
since the cells are not adjacent, you may use the following technique: Hold Ctrl and select the cells.
After selecting, click the INSERT tab, then click the PIE CHART icon.
You may choose which among the different styles of pie chart you will use.
3. Click the style you want.
IV. Exercises/Activities:
Activity 1: E-spread it!
Direction: Using e-spreadsheet, compute the following: Write your answer in separate sheet of paper.
