in c++

I have this working code to read a .dat file

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

//function declaration
void calculations(float *hours, float *pay_hour, float *personal_tax_rate);

int main()
{
//variable to store employee details
string ssn ,lastname, firstname;
float hours, pay_hour, personal_tax_rate;
//ifstream to read file named employee.dat
ifstream myfile;
myfile.open("employee.dat");
//while loop to go through all the data in file
while (myfile >> ssn >> lastname >> firstname >> hours >> pay_hour >> personal_tax_rate)
{
//if condition to print eligible employees for overtime
cout << ssn << " " << lastname << " " << firstname << " " << hours << " " << pay_hour << " " << personal_tax_rate << " ";
calculations(&hours,&pay_hour,&personal_tax_rate);
} //End of if
} //End of while
//End of main

//function definition
void calculations(float *hours, float *pay_hour, float *personal_tax_rate)
{
float reghours, overtime, reg_pay, over_pay, tax_rate;
reghours = *hours;
overtime=(*hours)-40.0;
reg_pay=40.0*(*pay_hour);
over_pay=1.5*(*pay_hour)*overtime;
//print overtime hours, regular pay and overtime pay
cout << "\n";
cout<<"Regular Hours"<< reghours<<endl;
if (overtime>0)
{
cout<<"Overtime: "<<overtime<<endl;
}
cout<<"Regular pay : "<<reg_pay<<endl;
if (over_pay>0)
{
cout<<"Overtime pay : "<<over_pay<<endl;
}

}

I was wondering if there is a way where i can pass all the values of the void calculations() back to the main function and have it display in the main funtion?
