This free overtime calculator helps you instantly work out how much you'll earn for extra hours worked. Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, and overtime hours — and see your regular pay, overtime pay, total earnings, effective hourly rate, and overtime premium all calculated live.
The core overtime formula is simple:
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier
Your total pay is then your regular pay (regular hours × hourly rate) plus your overtime pay. The effective hourly rate blends these together across all hours worked.
The overtime premium is the extra money you earned because of the higher overtime rate. It's the difference between what you actually earned for overtime hours and what you would have earned if those same hours were paid at your regular rate. It's a useful metric for understanding the real financial value of working overtime.
This tool calculates gross pay only — it does not account for income tax, social insurance, pension contributions, or other payroll deductions. Results are estimates for planning purposes. Overtime rules and legal minimums vary by country and employment contract. Always verify with your employer or payroll department.

Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (e.g. 1.5 for time-and-a-half) and then multiplying by the number of overtime hours worked. For example, at €20/hr with 1.5x multiplier and 5 overtime hours: 5 × €20 × 1.5 = €150 overtime pay.
"Time and a half" means your overtime rate is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. If you normally earn €20/hr, you earn €30/hr for overtime hours. This is the most common overtime rate in many countries and industries.
Double time means you are paid twice your regular hourly rate for overtime hours worked. At €20/hr regular rate, double time pays €40/hr. This is often applied on public holidays, Sundays, or after a certain number of overtime hours.
The effective hourly rate is your total pay divided by your total hours worked (regular + overtime). It gives you a blended average rate and shows how much your overall pay rate increases when overtime is included.
The overtime premium is the extra money you earned by working overtime compared to what you would have earned if all those extra hours were paid at your regular rate. It represents the financial bonus of overtime pay — the "uplift" above your standard rate.
Yes. Select "Custom" from the multiplier dropdown and enter any value. Some employers offer 1.25x, 1.75x, or other non-standard rates. This is common in shift-work industries, hospitality, and healthcare.
No. This calculator shows gross pay only — before income tax, social insurance, and other deductions. For net pay, consult your country's tax authority or use a payroll calculator specific to your jurisdiction.
