What this calculator does

Overtime is usually paid at a premium above a weekly hours threshold. This tool separates regular pay, overtime pay and any double-time hours.

Formula and method

Regular hours = min(total, threshold); OT hours = total − threshold OT pay = rate × multiplier × (OT − double-time hours) + rate × 2 × double-time hours

How to read the results

The overtime rate shows what each extra hour earns.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Overtime eligibility and thresholds depend on law and contract.

Tax and payroll figures depend on rules that differ by country, region and year and change often. Enter official current rates, and consult the tax authority or a qualified adviser — nothing here is tax advice.

Questions

What is time and a half?

Overtime paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.
