Formula and method

Weekly gross pay = regular hours × hourly rate + overtime hours × hourly rate × overtime multiplier.

Example

At $25 per hour, 40 regular hours plus 5 overtime hours at 1.5× produces $1,187.50 in gross weekly pay.

What this calculator is useful for

Estimate weekly gross pay from regular hours, overtime hours, hourly rate and an overtime multiplier. The result is intended for quick estimates, checking arithmetic and comparing scenarios. When a result affects a contract, tax filing, medical decision, building-code requirement or other high-stakes situation, verify the result with the appropriate professional or authoritative source.

Forty regular hours and six overtime hours: $1,372 gross pay

Regular pay is 40 × $28 = $1,120. Overtime pay at 1.5× is 6 × $42 = $252. Total gross pay is $1,372 before payroll deductions.

How to interpret the result

The multiplier changes the overtime hourly rate, not the number of overtime hours.

Important limitation
