What it calculates: Total Weekly Pay, Regular Pay, Overtime Pay, Overtime Hourly Rate.

Updated 5 June 2026 · Transparent assumptions

The multiplier applies to the rate, not to the total

Overtime is paid at the base hourly rate multiplied by a premium factor, applied only to the qualifying hours. Time-and-a-half is 1.5 and double time is 2.0, so an hour worth ₹400 normally pays ₹600 or ₹800 once the threshold is crossed.

The calculator reports that overtime hourly rate separately from the total, because it is the figure worth knowing before agreeing to the hours. Multiplying the whole week’s pay by the factor — a common mistake — produces a number far above what will actually be paid.

Which hours qualify depends on where you work

The point at which overtime begins is set by law and varies. A forty-hour week is the common threshold, but some jurisdictions use a daily trigger — hours beyond eight or nine in a single day — and some apply a higher premium to rest days or public holidays.

Enter as regular hours whatever your own threshold is, rather than assuming forty. Getting the split wrong moves hours between the plain rate and the premium rate, which changes the answer by the size of the premium on every misplaced hour.

Fifty-two identical weeks is a projection, not a salary

The annualised total multiplies the week you entered by fifty-two. That is a useful comparison against a salaried role, but it describes a year in which the overtime never stops and no week is short — which is not how overtime usually behaves.

For a realistic figure, enter a typical week rather than your busiest one, or run the tool twice and take the range. Overtime that is genuinely reliable year-round is unusual enough that treating it as permanent income is worth questioning.

Before tax, and before the exemption rules

Every figure here is gross. Overtime is ordinarily taxed as normal income, and because it sits on top of regular pay it is taxed at your marginal rate — so the additional take-home is smaller than the additional gross, sometimes noticeably so.

Eligibility is a separate question. Many jurisdictions exempt salaried employees above an income threshold, or those in specified executive, administrative and professional roles, from overtime entitlement altogether. This calculates what the hours are worth if they qualify, not whether they do.

Published 12 September 2026

  1. Published the calculator with its formula, worked example, assumptions, limitations and a bespoke guide, and added an automated formula test suite covering it.
  2. Tested the split between regular and overtime pay at several multipliers, with the weekly and annualised totals recomputed from the components.
  3. Tested that zero overtime hours leaves only regular pay, and that a multiplier of one makes overtime hours worth exactly the base rate.
