Overtime Pay Calculator
Calculate overtime pay from a base hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours and a multiplier. See overtime pay and total earnings for the week.
Get overtime right
Overtime pay is the base rate multiplied by an overtime factor, applied to hours worked beyond the standard week. The most common multiplier is time and a half, or 1.5, but some hours pay double. Getting it right matters for both fairness and compliance, and a small error repeated across a team adds up fast.
Separate regular and overtime pay
Total weekly pay is regular hours at the base rate plus overtime hours at the higher rate. Keeping the two parts separate, as this tool does, makes payslips clear and helps you budget labour costs. It also shows the effective overtime rate, so an employee can see exactly what each extra hour earns.
How to use it
Enter the base hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, and your overtime multiplier. The tool returns total pay, split into regular and overtime, plus the overtime rate. To see the annual picture of the base rate, use the Hourly to Salary Converter.
