Java Program: Compute the wages of the Employees

26. Employees at Arkenstone Consulting earn the basic hourly wage of Rs.500. In addition to this, they also receive a commission on the sales they generate while tending the counter. The commission given to them is calculated according to the following table:

Total Sales	Commmision Rate
Rs. 100 to less than Rs. 1000	1%
Rs. 1000 to less than Rs. 10000	2%
Rs. 10000 to less than Rs. 25000	3%
Rs. 25000 and above	3.5%

Write a program in Java that inputs the number of hours worked and the total sales. Compute the wages of the employees.

Java

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class EmployeeWages {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
 
        int hoursWorked;
        double totalSales, commission = 0, wages;
 
        System.out.print("Enter number of hours worked: ");
        hoursWorked = sc.nextInt();
 
        System.out.print("Enter total sales (Rs.): ");
        totalSales = sc.nextDouble();
 
        // Calculate commission based on sales
        if (totalSales >= 100 && totalSales < 1000) {
            commission = 0.01 * totalSales;
        } else if (totalSales >= 1000 && totalSales < 10000) {
            commission = 0.02 * totalSales;
        } else if (totalSales >= 10000 && totalSales < 25000) {
            commission = 0.03 * totalSales;
        } else if (totalSales >= 25000) {
            commission = 0.035 * totalSales;
        }
 
        // Calculate total wages
        wages = (hoursWorked * 500) + commission;
 
        System.out.println("\nCommission Earned: Rs. " + commission);
        System.out.println("Total Wages: Rs. " + wages);
    }
}

Output

Sample Output 
Enter number of hours worked: 8
Enter total sales (Rs.): 12000

Commission Earned: Rs. 360.0
Total Wages: Rs. 4360.0

✅ Explanation

Basic wage is calculated as:

hoursWorked × 500

Commission is calculated based on the applicable sales slab.
Total wages =

Basic Wage + Commission

if-else-if ladder is used to apply the correct commission rate.
