## Quick Answer

Calculate your total gross pay including overtime. Enter your regular hourly wage, your regular hours, your overtime hours, and the overtime multiplier (1.5 for time and a half, 2 for double time, or any custom rate).

## Definition

An overtime calculator is a payroll planning utility that computes gross earnings for a pay period split between regular hours and overtime hours. It applies the regular hourly wage to the regular hours and applies an overtime multiplier (typically one-point-five times the regular rate, or double time) to the overtime hours, then adds the two. The calculator determines gross regular pay, gross overtime pay, the combined total, and the effective hourly rate across every hour worked. The split between regular and overtime hours is supplied by the user, because which hours qualify depends on jurisdiction and classification rather than on arithmetic. Human resources staff and employees use this calculator to estimate total gross earnings and check a pay stub.

## How to Use

1. **Enter hourly wage** — Type your regular hourly pay rate into the input box.
2. **Input work hours** — Enter your regular hours and any overtime hours worked during the pay period.
3. **Set overtime multiplier** — Choose the overtime pay multiplier, which defaults to the standard one-point-five times rate.
4. **Review gross earnings** — View the total estimated gross pay with a detailed breakdown of regular and overtime wages.
