Overtime calculator: weekly and daily overtime
Enter the hours worked each day of one week. See regular hours, overtime and pay. Nothing is sent anywhere: it runs in your browser.
Rules differ by country, state and contract. Cronta applies the rules you choose; it doesn’t give legal advice. Check yours with your accountant or adviser. This calculator is an estimate for one week, not legal or tax advice.
How overtime is worked out
Weekly overtime (US federal)
Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act, most hourly employees earn 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some jobs are exempt.
Daily overtime
Some places also count overtime per day. California, for example, pays 1.5× over 8 hours in a day and 2× over 12, with a special rule for the 7th day in a row.
Your own rules
Many countries set the limits by law or by collective agreement. Enter your weekly and daily limits and the overtime rate that applies to you.
No double counting
Hours already paid as daily overtime don’t count again toward weekly overtime.
