Overtime Pay Calculator
Calculate your total weekly pay including regular and overtime hours. Supports time-and-a-half, double time, and custom multipliers.
💰 Financial Disclaimer: This calculator is for educational purposes only. Consult a qualified financial professional.
How It Works
Multiplies regular hours by rate, then overtime hours by rate times multiplier, and sums both amounts.
Formula
Total = (Regular Hours × Rate) + (OT Hours × Rate × Multiplier)
Example
$20/hr, 40 reg + 5 OT hours, 1.5×:
Regular $800 + OT $150 = $950 total
When to Use This Calculator
Use after each pay period to verify your paycheck, or when negotiating overtime terms with your employer.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming all OT is 1.5× — check your employment contract.
- Not tracking hours — keep a time log for documentation.
- Forgetting bonuses are usually excluded from the OT base rate.
