SOFTWARE HELP

CalcuWage lets the user enter a dollar amount, which is then calculated and displayed as indicated by the elapsed time.

The Pause button temporarily stops the timer and your wage calculation. Clicking the Start button will start the timer again and resume calculating. Resetting the timer is accessible through the File menu.

Advanced mode offers the user three wage options and the choice of calculating their wage based on an hourly, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly or annual rate.

Set a Target Time under the File menu. Target Time is a countdown timer. For instance, you could key in a 30 minutes and have a short alarm come through your generic PC speaker once the 30 minutes is up. A progress bar is included.

There are user-defined options available to use in the Options area under the File menu. Adjust the checkboxes and default wages for convenience when the software loads.

Using your mouse, right-click on the CalcuWage screen to bring up a list of common functions. The Copy to Clipboard feature allows you to copy, then paste your calculations into another program (like Word, Excel, etc).

Please note that CalcuWage will ask you to save your Elapsed Time on Exit. Choose "No" if you don't want it to remember for next time. CalcuWage also automatically stores your progress every 5 minutes (in case of a reboot or crash). The software will automatically save the screen position for the Regular and Advanced screens independently.

SOFTWARE REMOVAL

Simply click on "Uninstall" from your CalcuWage programs folder under Start and follow the prompts to remove the software or use "Add or Remove Programs" from your Control Panel. Feel free to e-mail me if you need help manually removing the software for any reason.
