Why use this tool

Three rate bands in one total

Adds pay from regular hours at your base rate, overtime hours at your multiplier, and double-time hours at twice the rate into a single gross total.

Adjustable overtime multiplier

Overtime defaults to time and a half at 1.5x, and you can set any multiplier or switch to double time in one tap.

Effective blended hourly rate

Shows the average rate across every hour worked once the premium pay is included, so you know what an hour is really worth.

Weekly or per-period basis

Enter hours for a single week or a whole pay period and the labels follow, matching how your employer runs payroll.

One button copies the rate, hours, each pay band, the total, and the blended rate as plain text for an email or a spreadsheet.

About this tool

This calculator adds up a paycheck that mixes regular, overtime, and double-time hours. Enter your base hourly rate and the hours you worked in each band, and it pays regular hours at your normal rate, overtime hours at your chosen multiplier (time and a half by default), and double-time hours at twice your rate. The totals update as you type, so you can see straight away what an extra overtime shift or a higher multiplier does to your take-home.

Beyond the total, it splits out how much of your pay came from each band and works out your effective blended hourly rate, the single number that averages every hour once the premium hours are counted. Switch between a weekly basis and a full pay-period basis to match how your employer counts hours. Use it to check a paycheck, to decide whether an overtime shift is worth it, or to compare a rate against a salary with the hourly to salary calculator. For quick raise or premium sums the percentage calculator helps.

Figures are plain numbers without a currency symbol, so the same math works whatever you are paid in, and every amount is gross pay before income tax and deductions. Nothing you enter leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

How is overtime pay calculated?
Overtime pay is your hourly rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier and then by your overtime hours. By default the multiplier is 1.5, known as time and a half, but you can change it. Double-time hours are paid at twice your rate.
What is the effective blended hourly rate?
It is your total pay divided by the total hours you worked, including regular, overtime, and double-time hours. It tells you the average amount you earned per hour once the premium hours are counted.
What is the difference between the weekly and per-period basis?
It only changes the labels. Choose weekly if the hours are for one week, or per pay period if they cover a longer cycle such as two weeks or a month. The math is the same either way.
Are the results before or after tax?
Before tax. Every figure is gross pay and does not subtract income tax, payroll contributions, or other deductions, so your actual take-home pay will be lower.
Which currency does it use?
None in particular. Figures are shown as plain numbers without a currency symbol, so enter your rate in any currency and the totals come back in the same one.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
