Your results
- Regular pay = hourly rate times regular hours; overtime rate = hourly rate times the multiplier; overtime pay = overtime rate times overtime hours.
- Total pay = regular pay plus overtime pay for one week, as gross pay before tax and deductions, in the currency you entered.
- Whether and when overtime applies depends on your job, so check your contract or handbook for your rate and the hours it starts after.
How to use it
- Enter your hourly rate. Type your regular pay for one hour of work, before tax. If you are on a salary, turn it into an hourly rate first with the salary to hourly calculator.
- Add your regular and overtime hours. Enter the hours paid at your normal rate and the extra hours paid at the overtime rate, both for the same week. Take the hours from your timesheet or schedule.
- Pick the multiplier and read your pay. Leave 1.5 for time and a half or enter 2 for double time. The results show your regular pay, overtime rate, overtime pay and total gross pay for the week.

Frequently asked questions
How is overtime pay calculated?
Multiply your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier to get the overtime rate, then multiply that rate by your overtime hours. At 20 an hour with time and a half, the overtime rate is 30, so 5 overtime hours pay 150. Add your regular pay for the week, 40 hours at 20, which is 800, for a total of 950.
What do time and a half and double time mean?
Time and a half means each overtime hour pays one and a half times your regular hourly rate, a multiplier of 1.5. Double time means twice your regular rate, a multiplier of 2. Enter whichever multiplier your employer or contract uses for your extra hours.
When does overtime start under the US Fair Labor Standards Act?
The US Department of Labor says that, unless exempt, employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay. This calculator does not decide whether you are covered or exempt, so check your contract or handbook and the rules where you work.
Can I average my hours over two weeks?
The US Department of Labor says the Fair Labor Standards Act applies on a workweek basis and that averaging of hours over two or more weeks is not permitted. That is why this calculator works one week at a time: enter the regular and overtime hours for a single week, and repeat it for each week if you are paid every two weeks.
Is the total my take-home pay?
No. The figures are gross pay before tax and deductions. What you take home depends on your own tax situation and any deductions, so compare the total with the gross line on your payslip rather than with the amount paid into your account.
