Overtime Calculator
This calculator adds up regular pay and overtime pay separately, using your hourly rate, hours worked at each rate, and your overtime multiplier.
The formula
regular pay = hourly rate × regular hours
overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours
total pay = regular pay + overtime pay
Worked example
$20/hour, 40 regular hours, 5 overtime hours at 1.5x:
regular pay = 20 × 40 = $800
overtime pay = 20 × 1.5 × 5 = $150
total pay = 800 + 150 = $950
Frequently asked questions
What is a typical overtime multiplier?
A common overtime rate is 1.5x the regular hourly rate (often called "time and a half"), though some employers or jurisdictions use 2x ("double time") for certain hours, such as holidays or hours beyond a higher threshold.
How many hours count as overtime?
This varies by country, state, and employment agreement — commonly it's any hours worked beyond 40 in a week, but check your local labor laws or employment contract for the exact threshold that applies to you.
Does this include taxes?
No — this calculates gross pay (regular pay plus overtime pay) before taxes and other deductions.
