Employee Overtime Pay Calculator
Calculates regular pay, overtime pay and total pay for a pay period based on hourly rate and hours worked.
This calculator separates a pay period into regular hours (paid at the standard hourly rate) and overtime hours (paid at the rate multiplied by your chosen overtime multiplier), then sums both into a total gross pay figure. It's useful for quickly checking a paycheck, estimating payroll costs for a shift schedule, or modeling the cost impact of scheduling extra overtime hours versus adding staff.
Example
- With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Regular Pay ≈ $880; Overtime Pay ≈ $198; Total Pay ≈ $1078.
Frequently Asked Questions
What overtime multiplier should I use?
This depends on your local labor laws and any applicable employment agreement — 1.5x ('time and a half') is common for standard overtime, with 2x ('double time') sometimes applying to holidays or hours beyond a higher threshold; check your jurisdiction's rules.
Does this handle taxes or deductions?
No — this calculates gross pay before taxes and other deductions; use a dedicated payroll tool for net take-home pay.
