Overtime Pay Calculator
Enter your hourly rate, total hours for the pay period, and the hour count where overtime begins (often 40 in a week). Hours beyond the threshold use your overtime multiplier (typically 1.5).
Estimates gross pay only—not taxes or benefits.
Overtime pay (gross)
Straight time through threshold, then overtime hours × rate × multiplier. Does not include taxes.
How this is calculated
Regular hours = min(hours worked, threshold). Overtime hours = max(0, hours worked − threshold). Regular pay = hourly rate × regular hours. Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime hours × multiplier. Total = regular pay + overtime pay.
When to use it
- Checking a paycheck when some hours were paid at time-and-a-half.
- Estimating gross for a week with extra shifts.
- Comparing schedules where threshold hours change (e.g. daily vs weekly rules not modeled here).
Frequently asked questions
Does this handle double-time or state daily OT?
No. It uses one threshold and one multiplier for the whole period. Use a state-specific tool for daily rules.
Are taxes included?
No. This is gross pay before tax withholding.
