How it works
How overtime pay is calculated
Overtime pay is the extra money you earn for hours worked beyond your normal schedule. The formula is simple: overtime hours multiplied by your hourly rate, multiplied by the overtime multiplier.
Common multipliers are 1.5 (time-and-a-half) and 2 (double time). For example, 5 overtime hours at $20/hour with a 1.5 multiplier equals $150 in overtime pay.
When overtime rates apply
Many regions require employers to pay a higher rate once an employee exceeds a set number of hours per week or per day. Holidays and night shifts may carry an even higher multiplier.
Always check your contract or local labor law for the exact threshold and rate that apply to your situation.
