Overtime Pay Calculator

Work out overtime pay from your regular rate and the overtime multiplier.

Pay for the extra hours

Overtime is usually paid at a higher rate than normal hours — time-and-a-half or double time — so working out the pay means applying that multiplier to the extra hours and adding it to the regular pay. This calculates it, so you can see what a stretch of overtime actually adds to a paycheque.

Enter your rate, hours and the overtime multiplier to see the total.

Rules vary, so know yours

The arithmetic is simple; the rules around it are not, and they vary by country, contract and job. What counts as overtime, the multiplier that applies, the threshold of hours beyond which it kicks in, and whether certain roles are exempt all differ. Time-and-a-half beyond forty hours a week is common in some places but far from universal. This calculates the pay once you know your multiplier and hours; what your actual entitlement is comes from your employment rules.
