Time and a half calculator
Time and a half means each qualifying hour pays your normal hourly rate multiplied by 1.5. A rate of 20 becomes 30 an hour, so 6 hours at time and a half is 180 gross, and 60 of that is the extra half. Enter your rate and hours below; add your regular hours to see the whole period.

How to use it
Step 1
Type your normal hourly rate as a plain number, such as 20 or 18.40.
Step 2
Enter the hours paid at time and a half. Which hours qualify is set by your contract or policy, so count them before you start.
Step 3
Add the regular hours in the same period if you want a period total. Enter 0 to see the time-and-a-half hours on their own.
Step 4
Check the line called what the half adds. On a payslip it's the gap between the premium hours and the same hours at your normal rate.
Questions people ask
How do you figure out time and a half?
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5, then multiply that by the hours paid at the higher rate. At 20 an hour, time and a half is 30, and 6 hours comes to 180 before any deduction.
How much is time and a half on 18 an hour?
Time and a half on 18 an hour is 27 an hour. Half of 18 is 9, and 18 plus 9 is 27. Eight hours at that rate is 216 gross.
Is time and a half the same as overtime?
Time and a half is one common overtime rate, and some policies also use it for holidays or weekend shifts. Overtime is the name for the hours, and 1.5 is one multiplier they can pay. If yours is different, the overtime calculator takes any multiplier.
