Your earnings give you a running estimate of what you've made — based on your approved hours and your pay rate — without waiting for payday. Your earnings appear as a card on your [dashboard](/employee/overview) and as period totals on your [timesheet](/employee/my-timesheet). They're shown only if your employer chooses to share pay information with you. Dashboard with the earnings summary card ## What the earnings view shows * **Current pay period** — your regular pay, overtime pay, and total for the period in progress. * **Year-to-date (YTD)** — everything you've earned since the start of the year. * **Pending** — hours that are still waiting for approval, with an *estimated* value if they're approved. * **Last pay date** — when your most recent pay period was paid. ## How earnings are calculated PayPunch multiplies your **approved** hours by your **pay rate**: * **Regular pay** = regular hours × your pay rate. * **Overtime pay** = overtime hours × your pay rate × your overtime multiplier (often 1.5×, set by your employer). Only **approved** and **exported** hours count toward your earnings and YTD totals. **Pending** hours are shown separately as an estimate, and **rejected** hours aren't counted at all until they're corrected and approved. Your numbers look low? Check your [timesheet](/employee/my-timesheet) for **Pending** or **Rejected** entries — approving (or correcting) those will update your earnings.
