How Overtime Pay Calculator Works?
Calculate your overtime earnings based on hourly rate and overtime multiplier. See weekly and monthly extra income.
Enter your regular hourly rate (or calculate it from your monthly salary).
Specify the number of overtime hours you work per week.
Set the overtime multiplier (e.g., 1.5x for time-and-a-half, 2x for double time).
The calculator multiplies your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier and the number of extra hours to compute weekly and monthly overtime earnings.
Formula Used
Weekly Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate x Overtime Multiplier x Overtime Hours
Under the Indian Factories Act, overtime must be paid at 2x the ordinary rate. IT and service sector policies may differ based on company rules.
Important — Read Before You Decide
- Indian labour law (Factories Act, 1948) mandates overtime pay at 2x the ordinary rate of wages
- The Factories Act limits overtime to 50 hours per quarter for factory workers
- IT and services sector employees are often exempt from overtime pay under the Shops and Establishments Act
- Overtime income is taxed at the same rate as your regular income — there is no special tax treatment
- Excessive overtime can severely impact work-life balance and personal relationships
- Prolonged overtime work is linked to increased health risks including stress, burnout, and cardiovascular issues
What Happens If You Ignore These?
- Working overtime without proper compensation means you are effectively reducing your hourly rate
- Not tracking overtime hours accurately can result in lost earnings and weak claims if disputes arise
- Health burnout from chronic overtime leads to decreased productivity and long-term medical expenses
- Extra overtime income may push you into a higher tax bracket, resulting in a surprise tax liability
Smart Tips

- Know your legal overtime rate — in India, factory workers are entitled to 2x the normal wage
- Negotiate the overtime policy clearly before joining, especially in sectors where overtime is common
- Consider compensatory off (comp-off) vs overtime pay — sometimes comp-off offers better work-life balance
