Question

Create a console application named TakeHomePay.cs under your homework directory (please refer to the earlier recorded Zoom sessions if you are not sure how to do it) that calculates the take-home pay for an employee. The two types of employees are salaried and hourly. Allow the user to input the employee’s first and last name, id, and type. If an employee is salaried, allow the user to input the salary amount. If an employee is hourly, allow the user to input the hourly rate and the number of hours clocked for the week. For hourly employees, overtime is paid for hours over 40 at a rate of 1.5 of the base rate. For all employees’ take-home pay, federal tax of 18% is deducted. A retirement contribution of 10% and a Social Security tax rate of 6% should also be deducted. Use appropriate constants and decision making structures.

Answer 1

C# program to calculate take home pay of an employee based on their type

Code:

using System;
class HelloWorld {
    //defining constants for deductions
    public const double federal_tax=0.18, retirement=0.10, social_security=0.06;
    //main method
    static void Main() {
        //declaring variables
        string first_name, last_name, id, type;
        string user_input;
        double salary=0, hourly_rate, take_home_pay=0;
        int hours_worked;
        //reading first name, last name, ID, and type
        Console.Write("Enter First Name: ");
        first_name=Console.ReadLine();
        Console.Write("Enter Last Name: ");
        last_name=Console.ReadLine();
        Console.Write("Enter ID: ");
        id=Console.ReadLine();
        Console.Write("Enter Type: ");
        type=Console.ReadLine();
        //checking if type is salaried
        if(type=="salaried"){
            //if yes, reading Salary Amount
            Console.Write("Enter Salary Amount: ");
            user_input=Console.ReadLine();
            salary=Convert.ToDouble(user_input);
        }
        //checking if type is hourly
        else if(type=="hourly"){
            //if yes, reading hourly rate and number of hours worked
            Console.Write("Enter Hourly Rate: ");
            user_input=Console.ReadLine();
            hourly_rate=Convert.ToDouble(user_input);
            Console.Write("Enter Number of Hours Worked: ");
            user_input=Console.ReadLine();
            hours_worked=Convert.ToInt32(user_input);
            //checking if hours worked is greater than 40
            if(hours_worked<=40){
                //if not, calculating salary
                salary=hourly_rate*hours_worked;
            }
            //if yes
            else{
                //calculating salary for first 40 hours
                salary=40*hourly_rate;
                //calculating overtime pay for the remaining hours
                double overtime=(hours_worked-40)*(1.5*hourly_rate);
                //calculating total salary
                salary+=overtime;
            }
        }
        //calculating take home pay after the deductions
        take_home_pay=salary-(salary*federal_tax)-(salary*retirement)-(salary*social_security);
        //printing take home pay
        Console.WriteLine("The Take Home Pay is: "+take_home_pay);
    }
}

Code Screenshot:

Output:

1) Salaried Employee:

2) Hourly Employee:
