Calculate regular pay, overtime pay and total gross earnings from an hourly wage, split hours and an overtime multiplier.
Calculations happen locally. We do not send your values to our server.
At 20 an hour, 40 regular hours earn 800 and 5 overtime hours at 1.5× earn 150, for a total of 950. The same 5 hours at double time earn 200 and bring the total to 1,000.
Regular pay is the hourly wage multiplied by the regular hours. Overtime pay is the wage multiplied by the overtime multiplier and then by the overtime hours. The two amounts are added for total gross pay, and each part is shown separately so it can be checked against a payslip.
You decide how the hours are split, because the tool does not apply any overtime threshold of its own. Eligibility, thresholds and premium rates differ by country, employer and contract, and night, holiday and weekend premiums, unpaid breaks, taxes and deductions are not included.
Enter the hourly wage, the regular hours paid at the normal rate, the overtime hours and the multiplier for those extra hours. At 20 per hour, 40 regular hours earn 800, and 5 overtime hours at 1.5× earn 150, for a total of 950. With no overtime the total is simply 800. Split the hours yourself according to your rules, because the calculator does not decide where the overtime threshold lies.
Time-and-a-half is entered as 1.5 and double time as 2, so the same 5 extra hours at 20 per hour earn 200 at double time and bring the total to 1,000. Rules differ by country and contract. In the United States, many employees receive 1.5× for hours above 40 in a workweek. In Japan, the statutory premium for overtime is at least 25%, entered as 1.25, and a higher rate applies to monthly overtime beyond 60 hours.
Compare each part of the result with your payslip rather than only the total. Someone paid 18 per hour who worked 38 regular hours and 6 overtime hours at 1.5× should see 684 of regular pay and 162 of overtime pay, 846 in total. For a monthly example in yen, 160 regular hours at 1,500 plus 20 overtime hours at 1.25× gives 240,000 plus 37,500, or 277,500. Night work, holiday premiums, unpaid breaks and deductions are not included in the calculation.
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
20 · 40 h + 5 h × 1.5 | 950 (800 + 150) |
20 · 40 h + 5 h × 2 | 1,000 (800 + 200) |
18 · 38 h + 6 h × 1.5 | 846 (684 + 162) |
1500 · 160 h + 20 h × 1.25 | 277,500 (240,000 + 37,500) |
20 · 40 h + 0 h × 1.5 | 800 (800 + 0) |
Time-and-a-half is 1.5 and double time is 2. Rules differ: in the United States many employees receive 1.5× for hours above 40 in a workweek, while Japan sets a statutory premium of at least 25%, entered as 1.25, with a higher rate once monthly overtime passes 60 hours. Use the figure in your own contract or local rule.
Yes. The two hour fields are independent, because the point where overtime starts is not the same everywhere. Enter the hours exactly as your payslip splits them; with 0 overtime hours the total is simply the regular pay, for example 800 at 20 an hour for 40 hours.
Compare each line, not only the total. Someone on 18 an hour with 38 regular hours and 6 overtime hours at 1.5× should see 684 of regular pay and 162 of overtime pay, 846 in total. A monthly example in yen: 160 hours at 1,500 plus 20 overtime hours at 1.25× gives 240,000 plus 37,500, or 277,500 gross.
