Time Tool

Overtime Calculator

Estimate overtime pay with an editable weekly threshold and multiplier. Review regular hours, overtime hours, regular pay, overtime pay, and gross total.

Pay and overtime inputs

Overtime pay formula

Overtime hours = max(0, hours worked - threshold); overtime pay = overtime hours x hourly rate x multiplier.

Editable threshold

Supports different regular-hour limits instead of hard-coding one rule.

Editable multiplier

Calculate time-and-a-half, double time, or a contract-specific multiplier.

Pay breakdown

Separates regular pay, overtime hours, overtime pay, and estimated total.

How to estimate overtime pay

Enter total hours worked in the relevant pay period, the regular-hour threshold, your base hourly rate, and the overtime multiplier. A common example is a 40-hour threshold with a 1.5 multiplier, but the correct rule depends on jurisdiction, worker classification, contract, industry, employer policy, and whether daily or weekly overtime applies.

The calculator separates regular pay from the overtime premium result so you can audit the estimate. It does not include taxes, bonuses, commissions, shift differentials, double-time tiers, paid leave, or special rate calculations. If multiple overtime tiers apply, calculate each tier separately or use your official payroll system.

Treat the output as a gross-pay estimate. For payroll disputes or compliance decisions, use time records and consult the relevant labor authority, employment agreement, payroll department, or qualified adviser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate time-and-a-half?

Multiply overtime hours by the base hourly rate and 1.5, then add regular pay.

Is overtime always after 40 hours?

No. Rules vary by country, state, role, contract, daily schedule, and worker classification. Enter the threshold that applies to your situation.

Does the result include taxes?

No. It estimates gross regular and overtime pay before taxes, deductions, and benefits.

Can I calculate double time?

Yes. Enter 2 as the multiplier, but first confirm that double time applies to those hours.
