Atto’s Estimated Total Pay feature helps you forecast payroll with ease. It automatically calculates what each team member is expected to earn based on their hours worked, pay rate, and other payroll settings — giving admins, managers, and employees a clear view of pay estimates before payroll is run.
How Estimated Pay Is Calculated
Atto calculates estimated total pay by factoring in:
Pay Rate – The hourly wage assigned to the employee
Hours Worked – Total hours tracked during the selected period
Effective From Date – The start date when a pay rate goes into effect
Overtime Rules – Based on your overtime settings (thresholds and rate multipliers)
Paid vs. Unpaid Breaks and Time Off – Whether tracked time includes paid breaks or leave
| This ensures estimated pay reflects your company’s real-world pay structure.
Where to View Estimated Pay
Team Level:
Admins and managers can view estimated pay in the Payroll box on the Timesheets page (Web and Mobile)
Also included in PDF reports downloaded from the Timesheets page
Individual Level:
Employees can see their own estimated total pay directly in the Timesheets dashboard on web or mobile
