What Is an Overtime Hours Calculator?

An Overtime Hours Calculator computes your overtime hours and earnings based on extra hours worked, hourly rate, and overtime multiplier. It shows total overtime pay and how it adds to your regular salary.

This calculator is useful for employees tracking overtime, HR teams processing payroll, and freelancers calculating billable hours. It supports standard (1.5x) and double (2x) overtime rates as per Indian labor laws.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the overtime rate in India?
The Factories Act mandates 2x the ordinary wage for overtime. However, IT companies and offices typically pay 1.5x. Some companies offer compensatory off instead of overtime pay. Check your employment contract.
How is overtime calculated?
Overtime = (Actual hours - Regular hours) × Overtime days × Hourly rate × Multiplier. For example, working 10 hours instead of 8 for 15 days at ₹500/hour with 1.5x = 2 × 15 × 500 × 1.5 = ₹22,500.
Is overtime mandatory?
No, employees cannot be forced to work overtime. However, some employment contracts have clauses requiring reasonable overtime during peak periods. Overtime beyond legal limits (48 hours/week) requires consent and 2x pay.
What is the maximum overtime allowed?
The Factories Act limits overtime to 50 hours per quarter. Some states allow 125 hours/quarter. Daily work cannot exceed 12 hours including overtime. Weekly hours cannot exceed 60 (48 regular + 12 overtime).
Do IT companies pay overtime?
Most IT companies do not pay overtime but offer compensatory off or flexible hours. Some startups include overtime in fixed CTC. Check your offer letter. Product-based companies may have strict overtime tracking.
