Overtime Standards
In many countries (including the US under the Fair Labor Standards Act), overtime pay triggers at 1.5x the base rate for hours worked in excess of 40 hours during a single workweek.
Double-time rates typically apply to holiday work, Sundays, or emergency shifts, depending on your union or employer agreement.
Multi-Currency Capability
Work out international contracts (e.g. Euro or Rupee overtime shifts) smoothly by updating global currency codes.

Calculating your monthly or weekly gross income when working irregular shift schedules requires careful bookkeeping. If your job description includes overtime limits, you need to calculate regular hours and overtime components separately. The Overtime Pay Calculator helps contractors and employees quickly audit their pay stubs.
How to Calculate Overtime Pay
To manually calculate overtime pay, apply these formulas to your hourly rate and hours worked:
- Identify your base hourly rate (e.g., $20/hr).
- Calculate regular pay: Base Rate × Regular Hours = Regular Pay.
- Find the overtime hourly rate: Base Rate × 1.5 = Overtime Rate.
- Calculate overtime pay: Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours = Overtime Pay.
- Add Regular Pay and Overtime Pay to find your total gross pay.
How to Work Out Overtime Pay
Suppose your base rate is $24 per hour, and you work 45 hours in a week (where the standard overtime threshold is 40 hours):
- Regular Pay: 40 hours × $24/hr = $960
- Overtime Hours: 45 - 40 = 5 hours
- Overtime Rate: $24 × 1.5 = $36 per hour
- Overtime Pay: 5 hours × $36/hr = $180
- Total Gross Pay: $960 + $180 = $1,140 for that week
