1. What Is Salary With Overtime?

Salary with overtime refers to the total compensation an employee receives, including both regular pay for standard hours worked and additional pay for hours worked beyond the standard workweek (typically over 40 hours in many countries).

2. How Does Overtime Calculation Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ Total\ Salary = (Base\ Rate \times Regular\ Hours) + (Overtime\ Rate \times Overtime\ Hours) \]

Where:

$ Base\ Rate $ — Standard hourly wage
$ Regular\ Hours $ — Standard hours worked (typically ≤40/week)
$ Overtime\ Rate $ — Usually 1.5× base rate (time-and-a-half)
$ Overtime\ Hours $ — Hours worked beyond standard

Example: For $20/hour base rate, 40 regular hours, 10 overtime hours at 1.5× rate:
$20 × 40 = $800 regular pay
$30 × 10 = $300 overtime pay
Total = $1,100

3. Importance of Accurate Salary Calculation

Details: Proper overtime calculation ensures compliance with labor laws, accurate payroll processing, and fair compensation for employees. Mistakes can lead to legal issues and employee dissatisfaction.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your base hourly rate, regular hours worked, overtime hours worked, and overtime multiplier (typically 1.5). All values must be positive numbers.
