   Where:
   

<div class="myob-custom-calc-wrapper">
<p class="myob-custom-calc">
<p>   <span>Hours in a working day = </span>
  <input type="number" class="hwd" />
</p>
<p>
<p class="myob-custom-calc">
  <span>Hours per pay period = </span>
  <input type="number" class="hww" />
</p>
<p>
<p class="myob-custom-calc">
  <span>Frequency of RDO (in weeks) = </span>
  <input type="number" class="fqw" />
</p>
<hr />
<p>
<p class="myob-custom-calc">
  <span>Percentage of Gross hours = </span>
  <input type="number" class="pgh" />
</p>
</div>
<script>
  (function($) {
    var totalObj = $(".pgh");
    $(".hwd, .hww, .fqw").on("change keyup paste", function() {
      var hwd = parseFloat($(".hwd").val());
      var hww = parseFloat($(".hww").val());
      var fqw = parseFloat($(".fqw").val());
      totalObj.val(calcPercent(hwd, hww, fqw));
    });

    function calcPercent(x, y, z,) {
      if (x == undefined) {
        x = 0;
      }
      if (y == undefined) {
        y = 1;
      }
      if (z == undefined) {
        z = 0;
      }
      let calc = (x / ((y * z) -x)) * 100;
      return calc.toFixed(4);
    }
  })(jQuery);
