What is an Overtime Calculator?

An Overtime Calculator helps employees and employers quickly figure out how much extra pay is owed when working beyond standard contracted hours. In most jurisdictions, hours worked above 40 per week (or 8 per day) are compensated at a higher rate — commonly 1.5× the regular hourly wage.

This tool calculates your regular pay, overtime pay, and total earnings in one click, letting you verify your payslip or plan your workload budget accurately.

How Does the Calculator Work?

1. Regular pay — Multiply your hourly rate by the standard hours (e.g., 40 hrs/week).
2. Overtime hours — Subtract regular hours from total hours worked to find the overtime hours.
3. Overtime pay — Multiply overtime hours by your hourly rate and the chosen overtime multiplier (1.5×, 2×, etc.).
4. Total pay — Add regular pay + overtime pay for your final earnings figure.

Formula: Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Rate × Multiplier)
