What is the total cost for 40 hours of work at $50 per hour?

The total cost for 40 hours at $50 per hour is $2,000.00.

I have a budget of $1,000. What is the maximum hourly rate I can pay for 20 hours of work?

The maximum hourly rate you can afford for 20 hours with a $1,000 budget is $50.00.

Is my project over budget? I planned for $5,000, but I've used 50 hours at $110 per hour.

No, you are currently under budget. The actual cost is $5,500.00, which results in a variance of -$500.00 (meaning you are $500 over budget). Wait, let me re-calculate: 50 * 110 = 5500. Since 5000 - 5500 = -500, you are $500 over budget.

You can use the `get_total_labor_cost` tool by providing the total hours worked and the hourly rate.
