Pseudocode for Calculating Hourly Pay, Weekly Pay, and Yearly Pay

Main Points

• The program will ask for the user’s hourly wage and the total number of hours worked in a week.
• It will then calculate weekly and yearly pay based on the input.
• The yearly pay will assume the user works a certain number of weeks per year.

Constants

• Define the number of weeks in a year (e.g., 52).

Pseudocode

START

  // Constants
  DEFINE weeksInYear AS 52
  
  // Input: Get user’s hourly wage
  PRINT "Enter your hourly wage:"
  READ hourlyWage
  
  // Input: Get total number of hours worked in a week
  PRINT "Enter total hours worked in a week:"
  READ hoursWorked
  
  // Calculate Pay
  weeklyPay = hourlyWage * hoursWorked
  yearlyPay = weeklyPay * weeksInYear
  
  // Output the results
  PRINT "Hourly Pay: ", hourlyWage
  PRINT "Weekly Pay: ", weeklyPay
  PRINT "Yearly Pay: ", yearlyPay

END
