Overtime Pay Calculator

Estimate gross pay when some hours are paid at an overtime rate. Enter your hourly rate, regular and overtime hours, and the overtime multiplier (often 1.5× in the United States).

Often 1.5 for time and a half.

Enter rate and hours to see gross pay.

How it works

Regular pay is hourly rate × regular hours. Overtime pay is hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours. The total is the sum of both amounts before taxes or deductions.

The default multiplier is 1.5 (time and a half). Change it if your employer, contract, or local rules use a different rate.

Examples

  • Standard time and a half

    $20/hour, 40 regular hours, 5 overtime hours, 1.5× multiplier → $800 regular + $150 overtime = $950 gross.

  • Double time

    Set the multiplier to 2.0 when overtime is paid at double the base hourly rate.

FAQ

Does this apply the 40-hour weekly rule automatically?
No. Enter regular and overtime hours as your employer classifies them. Use the Payroll Hours Calculator to split hours across a week first.
Are overtime rules the same everywhere?
No. Federal, state, and employer policies differ. This calculator only multiplies hours by the rates you provide.
Is the result take-home pay?
No. Tax withholding, benefits, and other deductions are not included.
