Overtime Pay Calculator – Calculate Overtime Hourly Rate

Need to know how much you'll earn from overtime? An overtime pay calculator takes your regular hourly rate, the number of overtime hours, and the multiplier (often 1.5× or 2×) and gives you the extra pay. This article explains how overtime pay is calculated and links you to our calculator so you can run your own numbers.

How It Works

Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime hours × multiplier. Many employers pay time-and-a-half (1.5×) for hours over 40 per week. For example, $25/hour × 10 overtime hours × 1.5 = $375 in overtime pay. Add this to your regular wages for the period. Rules vary by location and job classification; check your contract and local labor laws.
