How It Works

The calculator subtracts your normal weekly hours from total hours worked to find overtime hours. Regular pay = normal hours × hourly rate. Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × overtime multiplier.

Example

Regular rate: $20/hour. Normal hours: 40/week. Total hours: 52/week. Overtime multiplier: 1.5×. Regular pay = 40 × $20 = $800. Overtime pay = 12 × $20 × 1.5 = $360. Total = $1,160.

Inputs explained

Regular hourly rate: your base pay per hour before overtime.
Normal weekly hours: your standard contract hours (default: 40).
Total hours worked: actual hours in the pay period including overtime.
Overtime multiplier: how many times your regular rate overtime hours pay (default 1.5×).

Common multiplier options

1.5× (time-and-a-half): most common legal minimum.
2.0× (double time): common for weekend/holiday overtime.
1.0× (straight time): pays regular rate for all hours above threshold.
Check your employment contract or local labor laws for the correct multiplier.
