How to Use the Overtime Calculator
This calculator helps you determine overtime pay based on various pay rates and schedules. Follow these steps:
- Select your pay rate type (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or annual)
- Enter your base pay rate
- Input the total hours worked
- Set your expected hours for the pay period
- Adjust the overtime rate multiplier (common values: 1.5 or 2.0)
Understanding Overtime Calculations
The calculator handles different pay rate types by converting them to an effective hourly rate. It then applies the overtime multiplier to hours worked beyond your expected hours.
Key Terms:
- Expected Hours: Standard working hours for your pay period
- Overtime Hours: Hours worked beyond expected hours
- Overtime Rate: Multiple of regular hourly rate for overtime hours
- Effective Hourly Rate: Your base pay converted to an hourly rate
Practical Example
Let's walk through a concrete example to illustrate how overtime calculations work:
Scenario:
- Job: Field Service Technician
- Pay Rate: $25/hour
- Pay Rate Type: Hourly
- Expected Hours: 40 hours per week
- Overtime Rate Multiplier: 1.5x
- Total Hours Worked: 45 hours
Calculation Breakdown:
Regular Pay: 40 hours × $25/hour = $1,000
Overtime Hours: 45 hours - 40 hours = 5 hours
Overtime Pay: 5 hours × ($25 × 1.5) = $187.50
Total Pay: $1,000 + $187.50 = $1,187.50
This example shows how overtime is calculated when an employee works more than their expected hours, with the additional hours paid at a higher rate.
