What does this tool do?
Many workplaces pay a premium once weekly hours pass a threshold. This calculator splits total hours into regular and overtime, shows the overtime share and estimates premium pay from the rate and multiplier you enter.
The Formula
Overtime = max(0, Total hours − Threshold); Overtime pay = Overtime × Hourly rate × MultiplierFrequently Asked Questions
Is overtime paid after 40 hours everywhere?
No. A 40-hour weekly threshold is common but not universal, and some places use daily thresholds. Check the rule that applies to your workplace.
Does the multiplier apply to all hours?
No. Only hours above the threshold receive the multiplier here; regular hours use the base rate.
