Question
An employee is paid at a rate of $16.78 per hour for regular hours worked in a week. Any hours over that are paid at the overtime rate of one and one-half times that. From the worker’s gross pay, 6% is withheld for Social Security tax, 14% is withheld for federal income tax, 5% is withheld for state income tax, and $10 per week is withheld for union dues. If the worker has three or more dependents, then an additional $35 is withheld to cover the extra cost of health insurance beyond what the employer pays. Write a program that will read in the number of hours worked in a week and the number of dependents as input and that will then output the worker’s gross pay, each withholding amount, and the net take-home pay for the week.
Answer
//Include header files for running C++ program
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
//main function
int main()
{
//Variables declaration
int numHoursWorked;
int numOfDependents;
double workersGrossPay;
char programerChoice;
//do-while loop repeats the program multiple times
//as per programmer choice
do
{
// Read in the number of hours worked in a week
//and the number of dependents as input
cout<<" Please enter number of hours worked per week: ";
cin>>numHoursWorked;
cout<<"Please enter number of dependents : ";
cin>>numOfDependents;
//Calculate grosspay of the worker as per given question
workersGrossPay = numHoursWorked>40?((40 * 16.78)
+ (numHoursWorked-40)*(16.78*1.5)): (numHoursWorked*16.78);
cout<<workersGrossPay<<endl;
//Output the worker’s gross pay, each withholding amount,
// and the net take-home pay for the week
cout<<" Worker\'s gross pay :";
cout<<" Withhold amount for state income tax= "
<<(.05 * workersGrossPay)<<"\n";
cout<<" Withhold amount for Social security tax = "
<<(.06* workersGrossPay)<<"\n";
cout<<" Withhold amount for federal income tax = "
<<(.14* workersGrossPay)<<"\n";
cout<<" Withhold amount for union dues= $ 10 "<<"\n";
if(numOfDependents >= 3)
{
cout<<" Withhold amount for insurance cost $35\n";
workersGrossPay -= 35;
}
cout<<" Net amount take-home pay for the week ";
cout<<(workersGrossPay*(1-0.06 - 0.05-0.14) - 10)<<endl;
cout<<"Press 'Y or y' for repeat again, otherwise press any character: ";
cin>>programerChoice;
}while(programerChoice =='y' || programerChoice =='Y');
}
Output 1 of the program code:
Please enter number of hours worked per week: 40
Please enter number of dependents : 2
