Overtime Pay Calculator
Overtime pay is the additional compensation employees receive for working beyond their standard scheduled hours. In many jurisdictions, overtime is legally required at a minimum rate of 1.5× (time-and-a-half) the regular hourly rate, though employers may offer double-time (2×) or other multipliers for holidays or special shifts.
This calculator instantly breaks down your paycheck into regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross earnings. Simply enter your hourly rate, the number of regular and overtime hours worked, choose your overtime multiplier, and select your currency — the results update in real time so you can plan your earnings accurately.
How it works
Regular Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours. Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours. Total Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay.
