Overtime calculator
Overtime pay is the hours past your threshold, times your hourly rate, times your overtime multiplier. At a rate of 25 and a 1.5 multiplier, 45 hours against a 40-hour threshold gives 5 overtime hours and 187.50 gross overtime pay. Put in your own four numbers and the split, the rate and the gross total appear below.

How to use it
Step 1
Enter the hours worked in the period, as decimals. Seven and a half hours is 7.5, and the decimal hours converter handles anything in minutes.
Step 2
Set the hour where overtime begins under your contract or policy. A weekly 40 and a daily 8 are both common, so the tool won't pick one for you.
Step 3
Type your own hourly rate as a plain number, then the multiplier your policy pays, such as 1.5 or 2.
Step 4
Read the gross figures. Each one is the amount before tax or any other deduction, which is the figure a payslip starts from.
Questions people ask
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Subtract the threshold from the hours worked, then multiply what's left by your hourly rate and your multiplier. With 45 hours, a threshold of 40, a rate of 25 and a multiplier of 1.5, that's 5 × 25 × 1.5 = 187.50 gross.
What overtime threshold should I enter?
Enter the one in your contract, policy or agreement. Some count past 40 hours a week, some past 8 hours a day, and some use both. Run the daily figure day by day if your policy counts that way.
Is the result my take-home pay?
No, every figure here is gross, before tax and any other deduction. Your payroll applies those afterwards, and the rules differ by country, so the calculator gives you the gross amount a payslip starts from.
