Formulas Required

This template relies on dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and automate calculations:

Overtime Rate: = IF(Overtime Hours > 0, Hourly Rate * 1.5, 0)
Taxes Withheld: = ROUND((Regular Pay + Overtime Pay + Bonus) * 0.15, 2)
Insurance Deductions: = ROUND((Regular Pay + Overtime Pay) * 0.05, 2)
Net Pay: = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay + Bonus - Taxes Withheld - Insurance Deductions
Payroll Cost (in Campaign Tracker): = SUMIFS('Monthly Payroll Tracker'!$H:$H, 'Monthly Payroll Tracker'!$A:$A, Campaign ID) where dates fall within campaign period.
ROI: = IF(Actual Spend > 0, (Value Generated - Actual Spend) / Actual Spend, "N/A")

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual clarity and alerts:

Budget Overrun Alert: If Actual Spend > Total Budget → Highlight cell red.
Low ROI Campaigns: If ROI (%) < 0 → Highlight in orange.
Overtime Hours: Any overtime > 5 hours/month → Highlight yellow.
Pending Payroll Approvals: Use conditional formatting on "Status" column with icons (e.g., warning triangle) if not approved.
