How Overtime Pay Calculator Works
This calculator helps employees and employers calculate overtime pay accurately. It accounts for regular hours worked at standard rate and overtime hours worked at a premium rate (typically 1.5x or time-and-a-half).
Overtime Pay Formula/Equation
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Regular Rate × Overtime Multiplier)
Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
Where:
- Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Regular Rate
- Overtime Multiplier = Typically 1.5x (time-and-a-half) or 2x (double time)
Example:
Let's calculate overtime pay for an employee who works 40 regular hours at ₹500/hour and 10 overtime hours at 1.5x rate.
Given: Regular Hours = 40, Regular Rate = ₹500/hour, Overtime Hours = 10, Overtime Multiplier = 1.5x
Step 1: Calculate Regular Pay
Regular Pay = 40 × ₹500 = ₹20,000
Step 2: Calculate Overtime Rate
Overtime Rate = ₹500 × 1.5 = ₹750/hour
Step 3: Calculate Overtime Pay
Overtime Pay = 10 × ₹750 = ₹7,500
Step 4: Calculate Total Pay
Total Pay = ₹20,000 + ₹7,500 = ₹27,500
Result: The employee earns ₹27,500 total, with ₹20,000 regular pay and ₹7,500 overtime pay.
The calculation formula:
- Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Rate
- Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier
- Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
The overtime multiplier is typically 1.5x (time-and-a-half) in most countries, but can vary by employment contract, industry, or local labor laws.

Overtime Pay Calculator FAQs
❓What is the standard overtime rate?
The standard overtime rate is 1.5x (time-and-a-half) your regular hourly rate. This means if you earn ₹500/hour, overtime pay is ₹750/hour. However, rates can vary by country, industry, employment contract, or local labor laws. Some contracts may offer 2x (double time) for certain hours or holidays.
❓When does overtime start?
Overtime typically starts after working the standard work week (usually 40 hours in many countries). Hours worked beyond the standard weekly hours qualify for overtime pay. Some countries have daily overtime limits (e.g., overtime after 8 hours in a day). Check your local labor laws and employment contract.
❓Is overtime pay mandatory?
Overtime pay requirements vary by country and employment status. In many countries, non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay, while exempt employees (salaried professionals, managers) may not be. Check your local labor laws and employment contract to understand your rights.
❓Can I negotiate a different overtime rate?
Overtime rates are often governed by labor laws and cannot be negotiated below the legal minimum. However, employers may offer higher rates (e.g., 2x) as an incentive. Always ensure your overtime rate meets or exceeds legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
