How this overtime calculator works
Regular pay is regular hours times hourly rate. Overtime pay is overtime hours times hourly rate times the multiplier. Estimated gross pay is the sum of those two amounts.
Regular hours, overtime hours and multiplier
Enter only the hours and multiplier you want estimated. A 1.5 multiplier is time and a half. A 2 multiplier is double time.
Gross pay vs take-home pay
The result is a gross pay estimate before taxes, payroll deductions, benefits, reimbursements or other adjustments.
What this tool does not include
This calculator does not decide whether overtime is owed, interpret employment law, calculate taxes, deductions, benefits, minimum wage compliance, shift penalties or final payroll.
