Overtime Pay Calculator

About this calculator

This calculator computes total pay by combining regular hours worked at the standard hourly rate with overtime hours paid at a higher rate, using an overtime multiplier — commonly 1.5x ("time and a half") or 2x ("double time") — applied on top of the base rate. Entering regular hours, overtime hours, the hourly rate and the applicable multiplier produces the full paycheck breakdown before any tax withholding.

Hourly employees use it to verify that a paycheck correctly reflects overtime worked, since payroll errors on overtime calculations are common and easy to miss without checking the math independently. Employers and small business owners use the same calculation when budgeting labor costs for a shift schedule that includes overtime, and job seekers evaluating an hourly role with expected overtime use it to estimate realistic take-home pay beyond the base hourly rate advertised.
