How it works

Calculate your total earnings including regular and overtime pay. Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, and overtime hours to see your estimated gross pay based on a common 'time and a half' rate.


The Formula
Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate Factor × Hourly Rate)

Worked Example
  1. Example: Calculating Overtime Pay

    Sarah works 45 hours in a week. Her regular hourly rate is $15. The first 40 hours are regular, and the remaining 5 hours are overtime paid at 1.5 times her regular rate. Regular Pay = 40 hours × $15/hour = $600 Overtime Pay = 5 hours × (1.5 × $15/hour) = 5 hours × $22.50/hour = $112.50 Total Gross Pay = $600 + $112.50 = $712.50


Tips, Assumptions & Limitations
  • Always check your local labor laws for specific overtime rules, as rates and thresholds can vary.
  • This calculator provides gross pay; actual take-home pay will be less after taxes and deductions.
  • The default overtime rate factor is 1.5 (time and a half), but you can adjust it if your employer uses a different rate.
FAQ

Overtime pay is additional compensation for working beyond a standard number of hours in a workday or workweek. In many countries, like the US and UK, this is often paid at a higher rate, such as 'time and a half' (1.5 times the regular hourly rate).

'Time and a half' means you earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for each overtime hour. For example, if your regular rate is $10/hour, your overtime rate would be $15/hour.

No, this calculator provides your gross pay, which is your earnings before any deductions for taxes, social security, or other benefits. Your actual take-home pay will be lower.

In the US, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) generally requires overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees. In the UK, there isn't a statutory right to overtime pay, but many employment contracts specify enhanced rates for extra hours. Always check your specific contract and local labor laws.
