About the Overtime Pay Calculator
Overtime is usually paid at a premium — the classic time-and-a-half (1.5×) or, for some hours, double time (2×). This calculator keeps the two rates straight: it pays your regular hours at your base rate, pays your overtime hours at the multiplied rate, and adds them into a single total. It also shows the effective overtime rate, so you can see exactly what each extra hour is worth.
Splitting the pay this way makes it easy to check a paycheck or decide whether an extra shift is worth it. Because you choose the multiplier, it works whether your overtime is time-and-a-half, double time, or a flat rate with no premium at all.
This is a straightforward gross-pay estimate: it does not deduct tax, and it does not apply the specific thresholds that decide which hours legally count as overtime, since those rules differ by country, state and employer. To turn an hourly figure into an annual salary use the hourly to salary calculator, or go the other way with the salary to hourly calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What is time and a half?
Time and a half means overtime hours are paid at 1.5 times your normal hourly rate. If you earn $20 an hour, overtime is paid at $30. Select the 1.5× option to use it.
Does this calculate tax?
No. It shows gross pay before any tax or deductions. Take-home pay will be lower once income tax and other withholdings are applied, which depend on where you live.
Which hours count as overtime?
That is set by law and by your employer — often hours beyond 40 in a week, but the rules vary by country and state. Enter whatever hours you are actually paid at the overtime rate.
