About Overtime Pay Calculator

The overtime pay calculator works out your total earnings for a pay period from your hourly rate, regular hours and overtime hours. Choose the overtime multiplier — the common 1.5× time-and-a-half, 2×, or any custom factor — and add double-time hours separately, which are always paid at 2×.

The results break down regular pay and overtime pay, then combine them into total pay. You also see your effective hourly rate: total pay divided by all hours worked, which shows what each hour was really worth once overtime premiums are included.

It is useful for checking a paycheck, deciding whether an extra shift is worth it, or budgeting a week with heavy overtime. Free and instant, with nothing leaving your browser.
