How to Use the Overtime Pay Calculator
Enter your regular hourly rate and total hours worked in the period — the calculator separates regular hours from overtime hours (based on the applicable threshold) and applies the correct premium rate to the overtime portion, showing total pay for the period.
The Overtime Pay Calculator applies the correct premium rate to qualifying hours — here's what to enter.
Entering rate and hours
Enter your regular hourly rate and total hours worked — the calculator applies the standard time-and-a-half rate to hours beyond the threshold, showing regular pay and overtime pay separately alongside the combined total.
Adjusting for a daily overtime rule if applicable
If your jurisdiction has a daily overtime rule (as covered in the weekly-vs-daily guide), entering hours by individual day rather than just a weekly total (if the tool supports this) gives a more accurate calculation that accounts for both possible overtime triggers.
