Overtime Pay Calculator

About Overtime Pay Calculator

An overtime pay calculator works out gross pay when some hours are paid at a higher overtime rate - the classic 'time and a half' or double time. It separates regular pay from overtime pay so you can see exactly what the extra hours are worth, and it takes the multiplier as an input because overtime rules differ by employer and country. Enter your rate, regular and overtime hours, and the multiplier, and the gross pay breaks down instantly. Overtime is where a payslip most often goes wrong, because it mixes two pay rates and a multiplier that varies by employer and jurisdiction. Separating regular pay from overtime pay, as this tool does, makes it obvious what the extra hours are actually worth and lets you check that they were paid at the rate you were promised. 'Time and a half' means a 1.5 multiplier; 'double time', reserved for holidays or unsocial hours in many places, means 2. Enter whichever applies. Where different overtime hours attract different multipliers - say weekday at 1.5 and Sunday at 2 - calculate each block separately and add them, since one multiplier cannot capture a mixed week. The result is gross, before tax.
