One threshold per calculation
Regular hours are the smaller of total hours and the threshold. Remaining hours receive the base rate multiplied by the entered overtime factor.
Questions about Overtime Pay Calculator
Does the default threshold apply to my job?
It is an editable example. Enter the rule that applies to your own calculation rather than treating a default as a legal requirement.
Can I use a daily period?
Yes, if total hours and the threshold both refer to that same period. The tool does not combine daily and weekly overtime rules.
Is the result take-home pay?
No. It is gross pay under the entered rule, before tax or other deductions.
