Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do overtime hours get calculated from a shift?

Overtime hours = net worked hours − overtime threshold. Example with an 8-hour daily threshold: worked 10 hours → 10 − 8 = 2 overtime hours. Net worked hours = (end time − start time) − unpaid break. For a 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM shift with 30 minutes break: 11 hours − 0.5 = 10.5 net hours. Overtime hours = 10.5 − 8 = 2.5 hours. Regular hours = 8, overtime = 2.5.

What counts as overtime — daily or weekly?

It depends on your jurisdiction and employer policy. Federal US law (FLSA) uses a weekly threshold: overtime kicks in above 40 hours per week, not per day. However, California uses both: daily overtime (over 8 hours/day at 1.5×, over 12 hours/day at 2×) and weekly overtime (over 40 hours/week). The UK and most European countries don't mandate a specific overtime multiplier — it's set by contract. Check your employment contract for your specific daily and weekly thresholds.

Should I subtract break time before calculating overtime?

Yes — only net worked hours (after subtracting unpaid breaks) count toward overtime thresholds. If you work 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (9 hours) with a 1-hour unpaid lunch, your net worked hours are 8 — no overtime. If your break is paid, don't subtract it; paid breaks remain part of compensable work time. Enter only unpaid break minutes in this calculator.

How do I calculate how much I'll earn including overtime?

Overtime earnings = regular hours × base rate + overtime hours × (base rate × overtime multiplier). Example: base rate $20/hour, worked 10 hours, 8-hour threshold, 1.5× multiplier. Regular pay: 8 × $20 = $160. Overtime pay: 2 × ($20 × 1.5) = 2 × $30 = $60. Total gross pay: $160 + $60 = $220. Use the Overtime Pay Calculator to compute the dollar amount once you have the hour breakdown from this tool.

Can I use this to track overtime across a full week?

This calculator handles a single shift's overtime based on a daily threshold. For weekly overtime tracking — where your threshold resets each Monday and overtime only triggers after 40 cumulative hours — use the Weekly Work Hours Calculator, which accepts up to 7 days and flags weekly overtime separately. Many employees need both: daily overtime (per shift) and weekly overtime (cumulative). Track daily with this tool and run the weekly total at the end of the week.
