Understanding the Total Gross Calculation in the Payroll

Understanding the Total Gross Calculation in the Payroll

The Total Gross displayed in the Payroll Report represents the final payroll amount calculated by the system based on the configured payroll settings and the operational data processed for the employee.

The calculation method depends on the payroll type being used. The system supports different payroll structures, including Linehaul and P&D (Pickup & Delivery).

The Calculation Memory provides the detailed breakdown of how the Total Gross value was calculated.

Linehaul Payroll Calculation

For Linehaul payroll, the Total Gross is calculated by applying the configured payment rates to the operational data associated with the employee's completed work.

The system retrieves the applicable operational values and calculates each payroll component based on the configured payment method.

Depending on the payroll configuration, Linehaul calculations may use values such as:

  • Total Miles
  • Solo Trips
  • Team Trips
  • Completed Days
  • Flat Rate values

The general calculation follows this structure:

Payroll Component Amount = Operational Value × Configured Rate

The system then adds all calculated Linehaul components to determine the final Total Gross amount.

Example:

ComponentCalculationAmount
Mileage Pay2,000 miles × $0.50 per mile$1,000.00
Trip Pay5 trips × $25.00 per trip$125.00
Additional EarningsConfigured amount$100.00
Total Gross
$1,225.00

The Calculation Memory displays the operational values, configured rates, and calculated amounts used to determine each Linehaul payroll component.

P&D (Pickup & Delivery) Payroll Calculation

For P&D payroll, the Total Gross is calculated based on the number of completed activities and the configured rates for each activity type.

The calculation may consider operational data from supported modules, such as:

  • Delivery
  • Ecommerce
  • Pickup

The system calculates the payroll by applying the configured rates to the corresponding quantities.

The general calculation follows the structure:

Total Gross = Sum of (Quantity × Configured Rate)

Example:

ActivityQuantityRateAmount
Delivery Stops210$1.00$210.00
Delivery Packages506$1.50$759.00
Pickup Stops41$1.00$41.00
Total Gross

$1,010.00

The Calculation Memory displays the activities, quantities, rates, and calculated values used to determine the final Total Gross.

Extra Percentage Per Stop Calculation

The Extra Percentage Per Stop configuration allows an additional percentage to be applied to the Per Stop Rate after the configured Stop Threshold has been exceeded.

When this configuration is enabled, the system calculates an adjusted Per Stop Rate by increasing the original Per Stop Rate according to the configured extra percentage.

Adjusted Per Stop Rate = Per Stop Rate × (1 + Extra Percentage)

Example:

  • Per Stop Rate: $1.00
  • Stop Threshold: 699 Stops
  • Extra Percentage Per Stop: 50%

For stops up to the configured threshold, the employee is paid using the original Per Stop Rate:

  • 1 to 699 stops = $1.00 per stop

After exceeding the threshold, the Extra Percentage Per Stop is applied:

  • Stop 700 and above = $1.50 per stop

Calculation:

$1.00 × (1 + 50%) = $1.50

Only stops completed after the configured threshold receive the additional percentage. Stops within the threshold continue to use the original Per Stop Rate.

The Calculation Memory displays the applied rates and quantities used to determine the final payroll amount.ine the final Total Gross.

Info
The components displayed in the Calculation Memory may vary depending on the payroll type and the configuration defined for each company.
