Overtime pay formula

Overtime pay = overtime hours x regular hourly rate x overtime multiplier

At a $20 rate with a 1.5 multiplier, each overtime hour is worth $30.

Straight-time portion vs. overtime premium

The full overtime payment contains the normal base value of those hours plus an extra premium. With a 1.5 multiplier, the premium-only portion is 0.5 times the regular rate for each overtime hour.

Total-hours mode

Enter total hours and a threshold. The calculator automatically splits the hours into regular and overtime buckets before applying the selected multiplier.

Separate-hours mode

Use this when you already know how payroll classified your hours and only need the pay calculation.
