How it works

This calculator combines your hourly rate, regular hours and overtime hours with an overtime multiplier to estimate your pay for a single pay period.

Regular pay = hourly rate × regular hours

Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime hours × multiplier

Total pay = regular pay + overtime pay

The overtime multiplier is where different workplaces and regions can differ the most. Many employers use 1.5x (“time and a half”) for overtime and 2.0x (“double time”) for some holidays or special shifts.

This tool gives you a flexible way to apply the multiplier that matches your own contract or local law.

Real examples

Example 1
Weekly overtime at 1.5x

A worker earning $20/hour works 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at 1.5x. Regular pay is $800, overtime pay is $150, total pay is $950 (~16% from overtime).

Example 2
Holiday double time

A worker earning $25/hour works 32 regular hours and 8 overtime hours at 2.0x. Regular pay is $800, overtime pay is $400, total pay is $1,200 (~33% from overtime).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this overtime calculator work in my country?

This tool uses standard overtime multipliers (like 1.5x). In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) typically requires time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek. However, rules vary by state (e.g., California's daily overtime) and country. Always check your local labor laws.

Does the result include taxes or other deductions?

No. This is a gross pay estimator. It does not account for income tax, social security, or other withholdings. Your actual take-home pay will be lower than the gross estimate shown here.

How do I choose the right overtime multiplier?

The most common multiplier is 1.5 (time and a half). Some contracts specify 2.0 (double time) for holidays or Sundays. Check your employment contract or collective bargaining agreement to confirm your specific rate.
