Work out your gross pay when some hours are paid at an overtime rate. Enter your normal hourly rate and total hours, then set the threshold where overtime begins and the multiplier (1.5× for time-and-a-half, 2× for double time). It is useful for checking a payslip, planning a week with extra shifts, or estimating what a contract’s overtime terms are worth.
How it works
The calculator splits your hours at the threshold and pays each part separately, following the common FLSA-style model:
- Regular hours = the lesser of total hours and the threshold
- Overtime hours = any hours above the threshold
- Regular pay = regular hours × hourly rate
- Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × multiplier
- Gross pay = regular pay + overtime pay
The result is gross (pre-tax) pay. Change the threshold and multiplier to match your own jurisdiction or contract.
Example
You earn $20/hour, worked 46 hours, with overtime starting after 40 hours at 1.5×:
| Component | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 40 h × $20 | $800.00 |
| Overtime | 6 h × ($20 × 1.5) = 6 × $30 | $180.00 |
| Gross pay | $800 + $180 | $980.00 |
