How overtime pay works
Overtime hours are usually paid at a higher rate than regular hours. The extra is called thepremium: a 50% premium means each overtime hour is worth 1.5 times your normal rate.
Some jobs pay different premiums depending on when you work, for example 50% on weekdays and 100% on weekends or holidays. That's why the calculator has separate fields for regular overtime and double time. Leave double time at 0 hours if you don't need it.
The formulas
Overtime rate = hourly rate × (1 + premium ÷ 100)
Total = hourly rate × regular hours + overtime rate × overtime hours
Worked example
You earn 15 an hour. This week you worked 40 regular hours, 6 overtime hours at 50%, and 4 hours on a holiday at 100%.
- Regular pay: 15.00 × 40 = 600.00
- Regular overtime: 15.00 × 1.5 = 22.50 per hour; 22.50 × 6 = 135.00
- Double time: 15.00 × 2 = 30.00 per hour; 30.00 × 4 = 120.00
- Total: 600.00 + 135.00 + 120.00 = 855.00
Frequently asked questions
What are "time and a half" and "double time"?
Time and a half means each overtime hour is paid at 1.5 times your normal hourly rate, which is a 50% premium. Double time is 2 times the normal rate, a 100% premium. Enter 50 or 100 in the premium fields.
When do hours count as overtime?
It depends on your country, your contract, and your job. In the United States, for example, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires time and a half for non-exempt employees for hours over 40 in a workweek. Check the rules that apply to you.
Can I use it for a month instead of a week?
Yes. Enter the regular and overtime hours for any period, such as a week, two weeks, or a month. The results are for that same period.
I'm paid a monthly salary. What's my hourly rate?
Divide your pay by the hours you work in the same period, or use our hourly to salary calculator to convert it. Then enter that hourly rate here.
Is this before or after taxes?
Before taxes. The calculator shows gross pay; taxes and deductions depend on where you live.
