How it works

This calculator multiplies an hourly rate by hours in a period. Regular pay is rate times regular hours. Overtime pay is rate times a multiplier times overtime hours. Optional double-time is rate times a second multiplier times those hours. The total is the three parts together. We do not read a labor code, we do not check a 150-hour cap, and we do not decide whether Sunday is 100 percent or 200. You type the multiplier, because a contract, a handbook, or another country may use 1.25, 1.5, or 2.

A blank overtime multiplier is 1.5. If you type a value below 1, we return to 1.5 so a 0.15 typo does not cut overtime pay without a warning. A blank double-time multiplier is 2, and a typed value below 1 also returns to 2. Empty overtime hours count as zero, not as an error. An empty rate or empty regular hours is an error. Regular hours may be zero when the period is overtime only and you type 0 on purpose, with overtime hours greater than zero.

This is a different page from the hourly-rate calculator. That page divides monthly pay by monthly hours and can then add optional overtime onto that salary. There is no monthly salary here. You already have a rate and you price a period: a week, a month, or another slice you collect in the fields. Header currency formats the amounts, it does not convert zloty into dollars. The metric or US switch does not change hours, because an hour stays an hour.

A comma and a dot in the rate work the same way. Do not insert thousand spaces. A negative rate is rejected. Negative hours are too. The result shows the total, the regular row, and the overtime row (with double-time in that card when you type it). This is arithmetic, not a payroll slip and not a legal opinion.

How to use

  1. Type an hourly rate greater than zero and the regular hours in the period, even if that regular count is meant to be zero.
  2. Add overtime hours. An empty overtime field counts as zero, not as an error and not as a guessed ten hours.
  3. Leave the overtime multiplier blank for 1.5, or type your own. A value below one returns to one and a half.
  4. Double-time hours and their multiplier are optional. A blank double-time multiplier is two, also when you type a value below one. Blank double-time is zero hours.
  5. Read the total, the regular row, and the overtime row. Currency formats the amount, and header units do not multiply hours.

Formula

regular = rate × regular hours

overtime = rate × multiplier × overtime hours

double-time = rate × double-time multiplier × double-time hours

total = regular + overtime + double-time

Blank overtime multiplier = 1.5 (also when the typed value is < 1). Blank double-time multiplier = 2 (also when the typed value is < 1). Empty overtime hours = 0. Rate > 0. Empty regular hours is an error; a typed 0 is allowed when overtime > 0.

Examples

Example 1

  • Rate: 25
  • Regular: 160
  • Overtime: 10
  • Multiplier: 1.5

Total 4375.00 (regular 4000.00, overtime 375.00)

25 × 160 + 25 × 1.5 × 10 gives 4375.00 for the period.

Example 2

  • Rate: 20
  • Regular: 40
  • Overtime: 8
  • Multiplier: 1.5

Total 1040.00 (regular 800.00, overtime 240.00)

20 × 40 + 20 × 1.5 × 8 gives 1040.00 for the week.

Example 3

  • Rate: 30
  • Regular: 160
  • Overtime: 12
  • Multiplier: blank

Total 5340.00 (regular 4800.00, overtime 540.00)

A blank multiplier fills 1.5, so 30 × 160 + 30 × 1.5 × 12 gives 5340.00.

Example 4

  • Rate: 40
  • Regular: 100
  • Overtime: 20
  • Multiplier: 2

Total 5600.00 (regular 4000.00, overtime 1600.00)

40 × 100 + 40 × 2 × 20 gives 5600.00, because a multiplier of two doubles each overtime hour.

Example 5

  • Rate: 25
  • Regular: 160
  • Overtime: 8 × 1.5
  • Double-time: 4 × 2

Total 4500.00 (regular 4000.00, overtime with double-time 500.00)

4000 + 25 × 1.5 × 8 + 25 × 2 × 4 gives 4500.00 when double-time is added next to the 1.5 overtime.

Example 6

  • Rate: 50
  • Regular: 0
  • Overtime: 10
  • Multiplier: 1.5

Total 750.00 (regular 0.00, overtime 750.00)

A typed 0 regular hours and 10 × 50 × 1.5 gives 750.00 for the overtime slice alone.

Example 7

  • Rate: 18.5
  • Regular: 168
  • Overtime: 16
  • Multiplier: 1.5

Total 3552.00 (regular 3108.00, overtime 444.00)

18.5 × 168 + 18.5 × 1.5 × 16 gives 3552.00, with no rounding of the rate along the way.

Example 8

  • Rate: 32
  • Regular: 160
  • Overtime: empty
  • Multiplier: blank

Total 5120.00 (regular 5120.00, overtime 0.00)

Empty overtime hours give 0, so 32 × 160 gives 5120.00 with no OT add-on.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a reading of a labor code, or a 50 and 100 percent premium?

No. We do not read a statute and we do not set a Sunday multiplier. You type 1.5, 2, or another factor from a contract. The result is a product, not a legal opinion.

How is Overtime calculator different from Hourly rate?

Hourly rate divides monthly pay by monthly hours and can add optional overtime onto that salary. There is no salary here. You have a rate and you price regular plus overtime in a period.

What does a blank overtime multiplier do?

It fills 1.5. That is a common contract figure, not the only legal one. If you want 1.25 or 2, type that number. Blank is not zero and not one.

What if I type a multiplier of 0.5 or zero?

A value below 1 returns to 1.5. That way a decimal typo does not cut overtime pay without a warning. If you want straight time, type exactly 1.

Are empty overtime hours an error?

No. Empty overtime hours count as zero. An empty rate or empty regular hours is an error. A typed zero in regular hours is allowed when overtime hours are greater than zero.

Why can I type zero regular hours?

Because a period can be overtime only, for example a shift outside the roster. Type 0 on purpose and overtime hours greater than zero. Empty regular hours are still an error, because empty is not zero.

How do double-time hours enter?

Optionally. Blank double-time is zero hours. A blank double-time multiplier is 2, and a typed value below 1 also returns to 2. The amount enters the overtime card and the total, beside ordinary OT from the first multiplier.

Does zloty in the header convert a rate of 25 into dollars?

No. The number 25 stays 25. The symbol and the grouping change. There is no exchange rate here. Same arithmetic, different money look.

Does US mode convert hours into miles or gallons?

No. An hour stays an hour. The unit switch does not multiply the rate and does not shrink a week. Metric and US leave 160 as 160.

Does the result replace a payroll slip or an employment contract?

No. This is a sketch: rate times hours times a multiplier. Tax, contributions, a night premium, and a labor-code clause belong to payroll or a lawyer, not this page.
