Overtime Calculator

Calculation Summary

• Regular pay per month: $0.00
• Hourly overtime pay: $0.00
• Overtime pay: $0.00
• Total pay per month (regular + overtime): $0.00

How this Overtime Calculator works

This Overtime Calculator first applies your overtime multiplier to your regular hourly rate to find your overtime rate, then multiplies it by your overtime hours to get your overtime pay, adds that to your regular monthly earnings (hourly rate × regular hours), and shows your total monthly income with overtime included.

Formulas for overtime pay

Hourly overtime pay: HOP = HRP × m

Overtime pay: OP = HOP × n

Regular pay (monthly): RP = HRP × (regular hours per month)

Total pay (monthly): TP = RP + OP

Where: HRP — regular hourly pay; m — overtime multiplier (e.g., 1.5); n — overtime hours in the month; HOP — hourly overtime pay; OP — overtime pay; RP — regular pay; TP — total pay.

Overtime basics

Overtime starts when you work more than your standard hours (commonly 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week, depending on your contract and local law). Labor regulations in many countries limit excessive overtime and require higher pay rates for extra hours to protect workers' health and productivity. Always check your region's rules and your employment agreement before relying on any calculation. For U.S. employees, see official guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor - Overtime Pay.

What is “time and a half”?

“Time and a half” is one of the most common overtime rates. It means you're paid 1.5 times your regular hourly wage for each overtime hour. For example, if you make $20/hour and your overtime rate is time and a half, your overtime pay is $30/hour. Some employers or countries may use different multipliers (e.g., 1.25x, 2x), so be sure to enter the correct overtime rate in this calculator.

Who is (and isn't) covered by overtime rules?

Overtime laws usually require employers to pay a higher rate once you pass the weekly or daily hour threshold (often 40 hours per week). Many workers qualify for this extra pay (“non-exempt” employees), but some roles are excluded (“exempt” employees), depending on job type, responsibilities, salary level, and local legislation. For U.S. users, detailed rules and exemptions are listed by the U.S. Department of Labor - Overtime Pay; elsewhere, refer to your national or local labor authority.

Typical examples of exempt roles

Some jobs are often not entitled to overtime pay under specific regulations, such as certain managers and professionals on fixed salaries, casual babysitters, companions for seniors, some transport and delivery workers, seafarers, fishermen, and employees in specific regulated industries. If you're unsure whether your position qualifies, check your contract or consult official labor standards in your country.
