- The total hours (decimal) updates as you type. Use Copy result or Share to keep it.
Method
Daily hours = End − Start − Break; Overtime = max(0, Weekly total − Threshold); Pay = Regular × Rate + Overtime × Rate × Multiplier
- Threshold
- weekly hours after which overtime applies
- Multiplier
- overtime premium, for example 1.5 for “time and a half”
Worked example
- Monday to Thursday: 09:00–17:30 minus 30 min = 8 h each, 32 h.
- Friday: 09:00–19:30 minus 30 min = 10 h, so the week is 42 h.
- Overtime = 42 − 40 = 2 h at 20 × 1.5 = 30 an hour = 60.
- Regular pay = 40 × 20 = 800, so gross pay = 860.
A 42-hour week at 20 an hour with time-and-a-half after 40 hours pays 860 before deductions.
What the result means
Gross pay is before tax and other deductions. Overtime rules differ by country, state and contract: some use a daily threshold or different multipliers, so enter the figures that apply to you.
Assumptions and limits
- Overtime is counted on weekly hours above the threshold you enter.
- Each shift is shorter than 24 hours; an end time earlier than the start runs past midnight.
- Daily overtime, double time, shift premiums and tax withholding are not calculated.
Questions
Is overtime always paid after 40 hours?
No. The 40-hour week is common (for example under the US Fair Labor Standards Act for non-exempt employees), but rules vary by country, state and employment contract. Enter your own threshold.
How do I record a day off?
Leave its start and end times blank; that day is skipped.
