Free Overtime Calculator - Calculate Overtime Earnings
Calculate your overtime earnings.
Formula & Methodology
The Overtime Pay Calculator multiplies your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (typically 1.5 for time-and-a-half) and by the number of overtime hours to find your overtime pay, then adds your regular pay (rate times regular hours) for the gross total.
- Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Multiplier × Overtime Hours
- Gross Pay = (Rate × Regular Hours) + Overtime Pay
Worked Example
Using the Overtime Pay Calculator: apply the formula above to your input values. For instance, Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Multiplier × Overtime Hours, then Gross Pay = (Rate × Regular Hours) + Overtime Pay. The tool performs each step instantly and shows the result.
