Wage Decrease Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Wage Decrease Percentage is:

\[ \text{Decrease} = \left(\frac{\text{Original Wage} - \text{New Wage}}{\text{Original Wage}}\right) \times 100 \]

Where:

Original Wage – The initial wage rate per hour before the decrease.
New Wage – The wage rate per hour after the decrease.
Decrease Percentage – The percentage reduction from the original wage to the new wage.

Wage Decrease: A reduction in the rate of pay that an employee receives.
Original Wage: The initial wage rate per hour before the decrease.
New Wage: The wage rate per hour after the decrease.
Decrease Percentage: The percentage reduction from the original wage to the new wage.

Let's say the original wage is $20 per hour and the new wage is $15 per hour. Using the formula:

\[ \text{Decrease} = \left(\frac{20 - 15}{20}\right) \times 100 = 25\% \]

So, the wage decrease percentage is 25%.
