Fill in each day you worked. The calculator totals the week, treats hours above your weekly overtime threshold as overtime, and multiplies by your rates.

Also called: Timesheet calculator, Weekly hours calculator.

## Formula

```
Daily hours = End − Start − Break;  Overtime = max(0, Weekly total − Threshold);  Pay = Regular × Rate + Overtime × Rate × Multiplier
```

Where:
- Threshold: weekly hours after which overtime applies
- Multiplier: overtime premium, for example 1.5 for “time and a half”

## Worked example
1. Monday to Thursday: 09:00–17:30 minus 30 min = 8 h each, 32 h.
2. Friday: 09:00–19:30 minus 30 min = 10 h, so the week is 42 h.
3. Overtime = 42 − 40 = 2 h at 20 × 1.5 = 30 an hour = 60.
4. Regular pay = 40 × 20 = 800, so gross pay = 860.

**Result:** 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.
