What it does
Overtime rules are different almost everywhere: some places count hours over a week, some over a day, some both, and the extra rate can be time and a half, double time or whatever your contract says. This tool lets you pick your place, enter your hourly pay and your hours, and see how many hours are regular, how many are overtime and what you earn in total.
If you track your hours by the day, the timesheet fills in the week from your start and end times. To turn the result into a monthly or yearly figure, use the salary converter.
How to use it
- Type your hourly pay and choose your currency.
- Choose whether you know the hours for the whole week or day by day.
- Pick your place. The thresholds and rates fill in and you can change them.
- Read the hours, the overtime pay and the table of parts.
What each setting does
- Overtime after, per day / per week: hours above these are overtime. 0 means no limit of that kind. Where a place has both, the higher overtime total counts, except British Columbia which adds them.
- Overtime pays: 1.5 means time and a half. The United Kingdom starts at 1 because the law sets no premium.
- Double time after: hours past this in a day pay the double rate (British Columbia, after 12).
Worked example
In Ontario, 48 hours in a week at 25 an hour: overtime starts after 44 hours, so 44 hours are regular (1,100) and 4 hours are overtime at 37.50 (150). The total is 1,250. Under the United States rule the same week has 8 overtime hours and pays 1,300.
FAQs
Does everyone get overtime? No. Managers, some salaried staff and some industries are exempt, and the rules differ for each. Check the official source and your contract.
Why does a province say “not confirmed”? The thresholds for those provinces come from a secondary summary, not an official page we could read, so they are marked check the official source. Some provinces also base overtime on the minimum wage, not your own rate.
What about India? The Factories Act sets 9 hours a day and 48 a week with pay at twice the ordinary rate for factory workers. Other workers follow state laws and the new labour codes, so check the official source.
Is anything saved? No, nothing leaves this page.
