Regular pay
40 hrs × 20 = 800 - 2
Overtime pay
0 hrs × 20 × 1.5 = 0 - 3
Total pay
800 + 0 = 800
How does this calculator work?
Total pay = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × multiplier). At $20/hr with 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at 1.5×: $800 regular + $150 overtime = $950 per week, or ≈ $49,400 per year. Enter your own values for exact figures.
Formula
How this is calculated
The calculator separates your hours into two buckets: regular time and overtime. Regular pay is simply the number of standard hours multiplied by your base hourly rate. Overtime pay applies the same base rate but scaled by the overtime multiplier — the most common legal minimum is 1.5× (time-and-a-half), though 2× (double time) or other rates are also supported.
Total pay for the selected period is the sum of both. From that weekly figure the calculator extrapolates a monthly equivalent (weekly × 4.33, the average weeks per month in a 52-week year) and an annual equivalent (weekly × 52). These projections assume the same pattern of hours repeats each week — they are estimates, not guaranteed earnings.
All figures are gross pay before income tax, national insurance, pension contributions or any other deductions. Overtime eligibility and rate thresholds vary by jurisdiction and employment contract; the multiplier field lets you enter whichever rate applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
Overtime pay = overtime hours × base hourly rate × multiplier. With a 1.5× multiplier (time-and-a-half), 10 extra hours at $20/hr earns $300 in overtime, compared with $200 at the regular rate — a $100 premium.
In the United States, federal law (FLSA) requires at least 1.5× for hours over 40 per week. Other countries have different thresholds and rates — for example some jurisdictions pay double time (2×) after 12 hours in a day. Check your employment contract or local labour law.
Annual and monthly figures are projections assuming you work the same hours every week for 52 weeks. They do not account for unpaid leave, variable overtime, bonuses or any deductions. Treat them as a useful estimate for budgeting and comparison.
