How to use
This is a general pay-estimation tool, not a labor-law engine. Enter hourly pay plus regular, overtime and double-time hours, then supply the multipliers that actually apply to your contract or jurisdiction.
- Enter the base hourly rate.
- Enter regular, overtime and double-time hours.
- Adjust the overtime and double-time multipliers if needed.
- Review each pay component, total pay and premium above base pay.
How it is calculated
Example
At a rate of 20, with 40 regular hours, 5 overtime hours at 1.5× and 2 hours at 2×: regular pay 800, overtime 150, double-time 80 and total 1,030.
Important notes
Overtime eligibility, multipliers, taxes and deductions vary by country, contract and sector. Use the multiplier from an official source or employer policy; this is not legal advice or an official payroll statement.
