Overtime Calculator
Calculate overtime pay with different rates
1
Your regular hourly pay rate
Enter your standard hourly rate before overtime multipliers are applied. You can find this on your payslip or calculate it by dividing your weekly pay by your contracted hours. For example, if you earn £600 per week for 40 hours, your hourly rate is £15. This is your 'base rate' that gets multiplied for overtime.
£
2
Total overtime hours worked
Enter the number of hours you've worked (or expect to work) beyond your contracted hours. Only count hours that qualify for overtime pay - check your contract as some employers have different rules. You can enter decimal values for partial hours (e.g., 7.5 for seven and a half hours).
3
Common rates are 1.5x (time and a half) or 2x (double time)
Check your employment contract or company handbook for your overtime rate. Time and a half (1.5x) is the most common in the UK - you earn 50% extra per hour. Double time (2x) is sometimes paid for bank holidays, weekends, or night shifts. Some companies pay regular rate (1x) for overtime, while others offer premium rates like 2.5x or 3x for unsocial hours.
