Example: DBA Calculations

DBA calculations can be based on values, such as gross pay, hours, pieces, salary, month-to-date, or year-to-date earnings. You might set up:

A health insurance deduction with a flat monetary amount of 12.50 per pay period.
A retirement savings deduction with an amount of 4 percent of gross pay per pay period.
A vacation accrual based on a calculation table using these variables to calculate per-pay-period vacation accrual:
- 4 hours per pay period if employed 1 to 2 years.
- 6 hours per pay period if employed 3 to 5 years.
- 8 hours per pay period if employed 6 years or more.
