How we calculate it
Regular pay = rate × regular hours. Overtime pay = rate × overtime hours × multiplier, and double time pay = rate × double time hours × 2. Total pay is the sum of the three.
At 20 an hour with 40 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at time and a half, regular pay is 800, overtime pay is 300 and total pay is 1,100.
Assumptions and limits
- When overtime starts, and what it pays, depends on the country, state, industry and your contract.
- The result is before tax and deductions.
- Enter the hours for one week. The calculator allows up to 168, the number of hours in a week.
Frequently asked questions
How is overtime pay calculated?
Multiply your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier, usually 1.5, then by the number of overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay.
What is double time?
Double time pays twice the regular rate. Some employers or contracts use it for long shifts, holidays or Sundays. Enter those hours separately.
Does overtime start after 40 hours?
In many places a 40 hour week is the usual trigger, but it differs by location and contract. Enter the hours that your employer pays at the overtime rate.
