var regularWageInput = document.getElementById("regularHourlyWage");
var overtimeMultiplierInput = document.getElementById("overtimeMultiplier");
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result");
var regularWage = parseFloat(regularWageInput.value);
var multiplier = parseFloat(overtimeMultiplierInput.value);
if (isNaN(regularWage) || regularWage < 0) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter a valid regular hourly wage.";
return;
}
if (isNaN(multiplier) || multiplier <= 0) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter a valid overtime multiplier (e.g., 1.5, 2).";

var overtimeRate = regularWage * multiplier;
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Your calculated overtime rate is: $" + overtimeRate.toFixed(2) + " per hour";
