Overtime Pay Calculator
Add up your pay including overtime. Enter your hourly rate, your regular and overtime hours, and the overtime multiplier (1.5× for time-and-a-half, 2× for double time), and you'll see your regular pay, overtime pay and total. Updates as you type.
How it works
regular pay = rate × regular hours
overtime pay = rate × overtime hours × multiplier
- Time-and-a-half = 1.5×; double time = 2×. Enter the one that applies.
- Overtime threshold (when OT starts) varies by country and contract — split your hours accordingly.
- Gross pay — before tax. Take-home will be lower.

FAQ
How is overtime pay calculated?
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × the overtime multiplier. At $20/hour with 8 overtime hours at time-and-a-half (1.5×), overtime pay is 8 × 20 × 1.5 = $240. Add it to your regular pay (regular hours × rate) for the total.
What is time-and-a-half and double time?
Time-and-a-half means 1.5× your normal rate, the most common overtime premium. Double time means 2× the rate, sometimes paid for holidays or hours beyond a higher threshold. Enter whichever multiplier applies to you — rules vary by country, employer and contract.
How many hours count as overtime?
It depends on your jurisdiction and contract — often hours beyond 40 in a week, but it varies. Enter your regular hours and overtime hours separately based on the rules that apply to you; this calculator does the maths once you split them.
Is this gross or take-home pay?
It is gross pay, before tax and deductions. Overtime is taxed like other income. Use this to check your expected gross earnings; your take-home will be lower depending on your tax situation.
