  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • User-defined weekly threshold only. Not a legal payroll engine; daily overtime, breaks, holidays and tax are excluded.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Net hours for each day: 8,8,8,8,10,0,0
  • Weekly overtime threshold: 40 h
  • Base hourly pay: 20 currency/h
  • Overtime multiplier: 1.5

42 hours with a 40-hour threshold, rate 20 and 1.5× overtime total 860.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

What method does it use?

regular=min(total,threshold); overtime=max(0,total−threshold); pay=rate(regular+multiplier × overtime).. User-defined weekly threshold only. Not a legal payroll engine; daily overtime, breaks, holidays and tax are excluded.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?
