HoursPad

Overtime calculator

Type your hourly rate and the hours you worked in the workweek. The tool splits them into regular and overtime hours and estimates the pay.

Not legal, tax or payroll advice. General information only; results are estimates. Read the full notice.

Like 46, 45.5 or 45:30.

Example: 46 hours at $18.50 an hour, with overtime after 40 hours at 1.5 times the rate, is 40.00 h (40:00) regular and 6.00 h (6:00) overtime. HoursPad estimates $906.50 before taxes: $740.00 regular plus $166.50 overtime.

Estimate based on what you entered. Not legal or payroll advice; check it against your employer's records.

Questions

How is overtime pay worked out here?

HoursPad takes the hours above the overtime line, multiplies your rate by the overtime multiplier, and adds that to the regular pay. Each part is rounded to the cent once.

Does overtime count per day or per week?

This calculator counts it on the weekly total. For two-week cards, see the biweekly time card calculator, which splits the card into workweeks.

Can I change the 40 hours or the 1.5?

Yes. They start at the federal figures cited below. If your employer or contract uses other figures, type them in.
