Reference & details

How it works

Weekly gross

Count overtime hours once, in addition to regular hours.

Gross = base rate × regular hours + base rate × overtime hours × multiplier

Effective observed rate

This ratio describes the entered gross and hours; it is not a legal regular-rate determination.

Gross per entered work hour = weekly gross ÷ total entered hours

Repeated work pattern

Both the weekly amounts and the multiplier remain fixed in this scenario.

Gross over selected weeks = weekly gross × entered weeks

Example Scenarios

$28/hour, 40 regular hours and 8 overtime hours at 1.5.

$1,120 regular + $336 overtime = $1,456 weekly gross.

Repeat the illustrative $1,456 week for 48 weeks.

$69,888 gross over the selected weeks.

Enter zero regular and overtime hours.

$0 gross and no per-hour quotient.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Averaging different workweeks

Check overtime for each applicable workweek.

Treating a holiday as automatically double pay

Use the actual applicable rule or agreement; the calculator supplies no holiday entitlement.

FAQ

No. Verify coverage, exemptions, compensable hours and regular-rate rules separately. Other compensation can affect the legal regular rate.

A full year does not necessarily contain 52 identical paid workweeks. Choose the number of weeks with the exact pattern being modeled.

Gross pay is zero and the per-hour result says no work hours were entered. The tool does not divide by zero.
