This overtime hours calculator helps you compare regular pay and overtime pay in one place. Use it like a pay calculator or wage calculator when you want to estimate weekly gross pay before tax or deductions. It also works as a simple paycheck calculator comparison when you are checking weekly wages or comparing a salary calculator result against hourly pay.
The overtime rate is usually the regular hourly rate multiplied by an overtime multiplier. Time and a half calculator settings use 1.5x, while double time uses 2.0x. That makes the formula easy to understand: regular pay plus overtime pay equals weekly gross pay.
Overtime pay formula
Regular pay = hourly wage × regular hours
Overtime pay = hourly wage × overtime hours × overtime multiplier
Total gross pay = regular pay + overtime pay
Use a work hours calculator to check total weekly hours, then compare the result with a weekly wage calculator or hourly to yearly salary calculator when you need broader planning context.
Remember: this page estimates gross pay before tax and deductions. Overtime rules vary by country, award, contract, and employer, so the multiplier you use should match the rule that applies to your job.
