← Certified payroll calculator
LCPtracker is cloud-based, subscription software built for running an entire project's certified-payroll compliance: a contracting agency or general contractor rolls it out across every subcontractor, payroll data is collected and validated against Davis-Bacon and state prevailing-wage rules, and the results are stored for audit — often because the awarding agency requires certified payroll to be submitted through it. An add-on LCPtracker+ tier layers on training and priority support.
That makes LCPtracker the right choice for running an entire project's certified-payroll submission and audit workflow across every subcontractor. This page answers a narrower, faster question: for one worker, one week, does the wage-determination math and overtime calculation actually check out — with no account, no project setup, and nothing uploaded.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| How do I submit and store certified payroll for an entire project, across every subcontractor, for audit? | LCPtracker's project-wide submission and validation workflow. |
| For this one worker this week, does the fringe and overtime math actually satisfy the wage determination? | This calculator — type the wage determination and the actual pay, get an answer immediately, nothing installed. |
| Is cash-in-lieu-of-fringe being paid at straight time when it should carry the overtime premium? | This calculator's overtime check — see does overtime include fringe benefits? |
| How many apprentices exceed the approved apprentice-to-journeyman ratio this week? | This calculator's ratio check, from the counts you enter. |
| Can I check one week's numbers without an account, a project setup, or a subscription? | This calculator — a static page, no sign-up, no billing. |
This tool needs no account and nothing installed: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and the wage determination, hours, and every other figure you enter stay on this device — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
They solve different problems at different scales. LCPtracker is cloud-based, subscription compliance software that a contracting agency or general contractor rolls out across an entire project: every subcontractor's certified payroll is collected, validated against Davis-Bacon and state prevailing-wage rules, and stored for audit, often because the awarding agency requires certified payroll to be submitted through it. This page is a single free form: no account, no project setup, no submission workflow. You type one worker's wage-determination rate, fringe, actual pay, and hours for one week, and it checks the combined-compensation requirement and computes overtime correctly when part of the fringe is paid in cash instead of into a bona fide plan.
LCPtracker's own materials describe a validation engine that flags Davis-Bacon and prevailing-wage errors across submitted certified payrolls before they go to the agency, run against the payroll data a contractor's system feeds into it. This page does one narrower thing directly: given a wage determination's base and fringe rates plus what a worker was actually paid, it computes whether cash-in-lieu-of-fringe was correctly included in the overtime regular rate under 29 CFR 5.32 / 778.7, so you can check that one calculation by hand before it ever reaches a submission system.
No. LCPtracker is subscription software (LCPtracker Pro, with an add-on LCPtracker+ training/support tier), typically paid for by the contractor or required by the contracting agency as part of the project's compliance process. This calculator has no account and nothing that bills — it is a free static page with no server behind the numbers you type.
