Estimated gross pay
How overtime pay is calculated
- Regular pay:
base rate × regular hours - Overtime pay:
base rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours - Double-time pay:
base rate × double-time multiplier × double-time hours
The monthly projection uses 52 weeks divided by 12, and the annual projection assumes the same weekly hours for 52 weeks.
Worked weekly overtime example
At a $20 base rate, 40 regular hours produce $800. Five overtime hours at 1.5× add $150, and two double-time hours at 2× add $80. Estimated gross weekly pay is $1,030 before taxes, deductions or allowances.
Choose the rate and hours carefully
The base rate used for a legal overtime calculation may include more than the employee's headline hourly rate. Bonuses, shift premiums or other compensation can affect the required regular rate in some jurisdictions. Enter only the hours that qualify under the applicable rule or agreement.
Why the monthly figure is an estimate
A calendar month does not contain exactly four weeks. This tool uses the annual average of 52 weeks divided by 12. For payroll reconciliation, use the employer's actual pay periods, time records and rounding policy.
Overtime eligibility, thresholds, rate definitions, rounding and required premiums vary by country, state, contract and worker classification. This calculator performs arithmetic only; confirm which hours and multipliers apply with your employment agreement or local labor authority.
