Overtime Pay Calculator
Calculate weekly overtime pay from an hourly wage and hours worked. Supports time and a half, double time, custom multipliers, and daily overtime rules.
Pay rate and hours
Your straight-time hourly wage before tax.
Hours input mode
Enter one weekly total. Overtime is calculated against the weekly threshold.
Sum of all hours worked in the workweek, including any overtime.
Overtime policy
40 is the federal US default. Some employment contracts use 37.5 or 35.
1.5 means time and a half. Use 1.25 for time and a quarter.

How the math works
- overtime_rate = hourly_rate * overtime_multiplier
- regular_hours = min(total_hours, weekly_threshold)
- overtime_hours = max(0, total_hours - weekly_threshold)
- total_pay = regular_hours * hourly_rate + overtime_hours * overtime_rate
Figures are gross pay before tax and other withholdings. Overtime rules vary by country, state, industry, and union contract. Treat this calculator as a planning estimate and verify your final pay against your employer's payroll statement.
How to use
- Enter your hourly wage and pick a currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, NZD, JPY, INR, TRY).
- Choose an input mode: Total weekly hours for a single weekly total, or Hours per day to enter Monday through Sunday separately.
- Set the overtime policy: weekly threshold (40 by default), overtime multiplier (1.5 for time and a half), and an optional double-time tier with its own multiplier and threshold.
- Use a preset to jump to a common policy like US FLSA, California daily OT, UK/EU contracts, or 1.5x plus 2x after 60 hours weekly.
- Read the breakdown on the right: regular pay, overtime pay, optional double-time pay, total weekly pay, and your effective hourly rate. Copy any line or the full summary with the Copy buttons.
About this tool
Overtime Pay Calculator turns an hourly wage and a workweek of hours into a clean weekly pay breakdown: regular hours at the straight-time rate, overtime hours at a configurable multiplier (1.5 by default for time and a half), and optionally a double-time tier for the highest-paid hours. Two input modes cover how people actually track time. Pick Total weekly hours when you only know the week's sum, and the tool splits everything against the weekly threshold (40 by default, adjustable to 37.5, 35, or any other value to match a UK, EU, or contract schedule). Pick Hours per day when overtime is calculated per shift, which is the rule in California and several other places that use daily overtime laws. In daily mode the tool reads Monday through Sunday separately, applies a per-day regular limit (8 hours by default) for time-and-a-half, an optional per-day double-time limit (12 hours by default), and then tops the week up against the weekly threshold so a sub-40 hour day that pushes the running weekly total over 40 is still paid at the overtime rate. Built-in presets cover the US Federal FLSA baseline (1.5x after 40 weekly), California daily overtime (1.5x after 8 hours per day and 2x after 12), a UK and EU style contract default, and a long-shift policy that adds 2x after 60 weekly. The summary panel shows total weekly pay in your chosen currency, a side-by-side breakdown of regular, overtime, and double-time hours and pay, an effective hourly rate so you can see what your hours averaged out to, and a per-day breakdown when you use daily mode. Currency formatting follows your selected locale using the browser's Intl.NumberFormat, with USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, NZD, JPY, INR, and TRY supported out of the box. Figures are gross pay before tax and other withholdings. Overtime rules vary by country, state, industry, and union contract: treat the result as a planning estimate and verify against your employer's payroll statement. Everything runs locally in your browser; your wage, hours, and totals are never uploaded, stored, or sent to any server.
