Overtime Pay Calculator

Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond the standard workweek. Under the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) in the US, overtime is 1.5 times the regular hourly rate for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The EU Working Time Directive sets a maximum 48-hour workweek including overtime, with rates determined by member state law or collective agreements. Our Overtime Pay Calculator handles all these standards plus custom configurations. The core formula is: Regular Pay + (Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × Multiplier) + (Double Time Hours × Hourly Rate × 2) = Gross Pay.

1. 1. Select Your Jurisdiction: Choose FLSA (US), EU Working Time Directive, or Custom rules. FLSA presets set regular hours to 40 and overtime multiplier to 1.5x. EU presets set regular hours to 48. Custom mode lets you set any regular threshold and multiplier to match your local labor laws or collective bargaining agreement.
2. 2. Enter Your Pay Details: Input your hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, overtime multiplier, double time hours, and pay period (weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly). The calculator supports fractional hours (e.g., 37.5 hours or 0.5 hours of overtime).
3. 3. Review the Complete Breakdown: The calculator displays regular pay, overtime pay (at your selected multiplier), double time pay (at 2x), gross total for the period, effective hourly rate (average across all hours), annual projection, and a visual pay composition chart showing the percentage breakdown of regular pay, overtime pay, and double time pay.

• Regular Pay: Your base earnings calculated as hourly rate × regular hours. For FLSA standard, this is your pay for the first 40 hours. For EU directive, it covers the first 48 hours of the workweek.
• Overtime Pay: Additional earnings for hours worked beyond the regular threshold, calculated at the overtime multiplier (typically 1.5x under FLSA). For example, 5 overtime hours at $25/hr × 1.5 = $187.50 in overtime pay.
• Double Time Pay: Premium pay at 2x the regular rate, applicable under certain state laws (e.g., California requires double time for hours over 12 in a day or for the 7th consecutive workday) or specific collective agreements.
• Effective Hourly Rate: Your average hourly earnings across all hours worked, including overtime premiums. Calculated as gross pay ÷ total hours. This shows the blended rate including overtime - higher than your base hourly rate when overtime is worked.
• Annual Projection:Your estimated gross earnings for the full year based on the current pay period's figures, multiplied by the number of pay periods per year (52 for weekly, 26 for bi-weekly, 24 for semi-monthly, 12 for monthly).
