How do you calculate the total salary of an employee in c plus plus?

Answer 1

Not to be pedantic, but an employee's salary does not have to be calculated. It is a fixed rate, paid monthly but calculated annually. If you are contracted to work for £24,000 a year, then your monthly salary, before tax/insurance, will be £2000, regardless of how many hours you actually worked. At the end of each year you may be offered a bonus for exceeding your annual targets, but this is over and above your agreed salary.

Wages, on the other hand, are worked out by the number of hours worked, with increased rates for overtime and unsociable hours. In manufacturing environments, you may be paid an agreed "piece" rate for each item you produce. To work out the annual pay of waged employees you need to add their weekly or monthly pay over a 12 month period.

How you actually achieve that in C++ depends on how the data is collected. A database back-end will often be used to track the employee payroll, so you will generally need an SQL or similar query to collate the information for a specific employee by their payroll number (or NI number).
