What this calculator does
This calculator estimates gross weekly pay including overtime using a common 1.5× overtime multiplier. It shows the overtime premium separately so you can see the extra earnings generated by overtime hours versus regular hours.
Who should use this calculator
Hourly workers, employers calculating payroll scenarios, and anyone comparing weekly earnings with and without overtime should use this tool. It is especially useful for shift workers and employees with variable weekly hours.
How this calculator works
Enter your base hourly rate, regular hours, and overtime hours. The calculator multiplies regular hours by the base rate and overtime hours by 1.5× base rate to compute total gross pay and the overtime premium (the extra 0.5× portion).
How to interpret your result
Total pay combines base and overtime earnings. The OT premium helps quantify how much extra you earn from overtime. These are gross amounts—use the take-home calculator to estimate net pay after taxes and withholdings.
Example
If your hourly rate is $20, regular hours are 40 and overtime hours are 5 at 1.5×, weekly gross = (40×20) + (5×30) = $950. The overtime premium (the extra 0.5× part) is $50 for those 5 hours.
Limitations & disclaimer
This tool shows gross pay only and assumes a 1.5× overtime multiplier. It does not include tax withholdings, local labor rules for overtime exceptions, or employer-specific overtime policies. For payroll compliance and exact withholdings consult your HR or payroll department.
FAQs
What OT multiplier is used?
This calculator uses the common 1.5x overtime rate. If your policy differs, adjust the hourly rate accordingly before calculating.
Does this include taxes?
No. This shows gross pay. Apply your own tax rate or use the take-home calculator separately for net estimates.
Can I include double-time?
For simplicity, only 1.5x overtime is included. You can split hours and run a second calculation for double-time if needed.
Does it include bonuses?
No. It only covers hourly wages and overtime premiums. Add bonuses separately.
