How it works
Regular hours are paid at your straight rate. Overtime hours are paid at a higher multiplier agreed by your employer or required by local law. This calculator splits them out so you can see exactly where the extra comes from.
The effective hourly rate is total gross pay divided by total hours worked - useful for comparing jobs with different overtime policies.
Formula
Gross pay = (rate x regular hours) + (rate x multiplier1 x OT hours) + (rate x multiplier2 x double-time hours)
- Time-and-a-half is typically 1.5x, double-time 2.0x, though some places use different rules.
- Effective rate = gross pay / (regular + overtime + double-time hours)
Worked example
At $20/hour, 40 regular + 5 at time-and-a-half (1.5x): regular $800 + overtime $150 = $950 for 45 hours, an effective rate of $21.11/hour.
Assumptions
Uses the multipliers and hour splits you enter. It does not automatically apply daily/weekly overtime thresholds - enter the hours your employer classifies as overtime. No taxes or deductions are included.
Reading the result
Check your pay stub to see how your employer classifies overtime. A small change in classification can be larger than it looks once hours add up.
For general information only. Overtime rules vary by location and employment contract.
