Retaining Text in a Form after pressing submit

I cannot figure out how to retain the inputted information once submit is pressed. I want the user to enter their first name, last name, hours of work, and hourly pay rate. Then, I want them to press submit. Their pay will be calculated and displayed, but I still want their inputted information to be visible. How can I do that??

 

Here is my code:

<html>
<head>

<?php

$pay = $_POST['pay'];
$hours = $_POST['hours'];
$extra = $_POST['extra'];
$rate = $_POST['rate'];

if ($hours > 40){
        $extra=$hours-40;
        $hours=40;
        $pay=($extra*1.5*$rate)+($hours*$rate);
} else {
        $pay=$hours*$rate;
}
echo "Your pay is:  <br /> $ $pay <br />"
;

?>
</head>
<body>

<form method='post' action='pay2.php'>
First Name: <input type='text' name='first'><br/>
Last Name: <input type='text' name='last'><br/>
Hours of Work: <input type='text' name='hours'><br/>
Hourly Pay Rate: <input type='text' name='rate'><br/>
<input type='submit' value='submit'>

</form>
</body>
</html>
