Overtime Pay Calculator

How the calculation works

Overtime hourly rate = eligible hourly rate × overtime multiplier. Overtime pay = overtime hourly rate × overtime hours.

How to use the result

Use the rate and multiplier determined by the applicable employment rules, award, contract or company policy. Keeping the multiplier editable avoids assuming one legal standard applies to every employee.

Assumptions and limitations

Overtime eligibility, calculation base, exclusions, weekly/daily thresholds and multiplier rules vary by jurisdiction and worker classification. This tool performs arithmetic only and does not determine legal entitlement.

Example

At a 300 eligible hourly rate with a 2× multiplier, 10 overtime hours produce an arithmetic overtime amount of 6,000.
