Overtime Pay Calculator

Overtime is your rate times a multiplier

Overtime pay takes your normal hourly rate and applies a higher multiplier to the extra hours — commonly 1.5 (time and a half) or 2 (double time). This calculator splits regular and overtime hours, applies the multiplier to the overtime portion, and sums the total.

For freelancers, a rush or out-of-hours multiplier is a fair way to price work that disrupts your schedule — agree it in writing before you start.

Set the rush rate before the rush

Clients accept premium rates far more readily when they were stated up front. Put your overtime or rush multiplier in your terms so the higher number is expected, not a surprise on the invoice.
