Formulas

The math behind this calculator, written out so you can verify the result.

Overtime Pay

Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier

Multiply the number of overtime hours by your regular hourly rate, then multiply by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5).

Example:

Input: Overtime hours = 5, hourly rate = $20, multiplier = 1.5

Calculation: 5 × 20 × 1.5

Result: $150

Total Pay

Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + Overtime Pay

Add your regular pay (regular hours times hourly rate) to your overtime pay to get total gross pay.

Example:

Input: Regular hours = 40, hourly rate = $20, overtime pay = $150

Calculation: 40 × 20 + 150

Result: $950

Real-world use cases
