Work Hour and Pay Calculator

Use this calculator to determine your total regular hours, overtime hours, and gross pay for a work period, considering both daily and weekly overtime rules.





Hours Worked Per Day:








function calculateWorkHours() { // Get input values var regularHourlyRate = parseFloat(document.getElementById('regularHourlyRate').value); var overtimeMultiplier = parseFloat(document.getElementById('overtimeMultiplier').value); var dailyOvertimeThreshold = parseFloat(document.getElementById('dailyOvertimeThreshold').value); var weeklyOvertimeThreshold = parseFloat(document.getElementById('weeklyOvertimeThreshold').value); var dailyHours = []; for (var i = 1; i <= 7; i++) { dailyHours.push(parseFloat(document.getElementById('hoursDay' + i).value)); } // Validate inputs if (isNaN(regularHourlyRate) || regularHourlyRate < 0 || isNaN(overtimeMultiplier) || overtimeMultiplier < 1 || isNaN(dailyOvertimeThreshold) || dailyOvertimeThreshold < 0 || isNaN(weeklyOvertimeThreshold) || weeklyOvertimeThreshold < 0) { document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = 'Please enter valid positive numbers for all rate and threshold fields.'; return; } for (var i = 0; i < dailyHours.length; i++) { if (isNaN(dailyHours[i]) || dailyHours[i] < 0) { document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = 'Please enter valid positive numbers for all daily hours fields.'; return; } } var totalHoursWorked = 0; var totalDailyRegularHours = 0; var totalDailyOvertimeHours = 0; // Step 1: Process daily hours to determine daily regular and daily overtime for (var i = 0; i dailyOvertimeThreshold) { var dailyOT = hoursToday – dailyOvertimeThreshold; var dailyReg = dailyOvertimeThreshold; totalDailyOvertimeHours += dailyOT; totalDailyRegularHours += dailyReg; } else { totalDailyRegularHours += hoursToday; } } // Step 2: Process weekly overtime based on hours that were *not* daily overtime var hoursEligibleForWeeklyOvertime = totalDailyRegularHours; // These are the hours that were regular on a daily basis var totalWeeklyRegularHours = 0; var totalWeeklyOvertimeHours = 0; if (hoursEligibleForWeeklyOvertime > weeklyOvertimeThreshold) { totalWeeklyOvertimeHours = hoursEligibleForWeeklyOvertime – weeklyOvertimeThreshold; totalWeeklyRegularHours = weeklyOvertimeThreshold; } else { totalWeeklyRegularHours = hoursEligibleForWeeklyOvertime; } // Step 3: Combine all regular and overtime hours var finalRegularHours = totalWeeklyRegularHours; var finalOvertimeHours = totalDailyOvertimeHours + totalWeeklyOvertimeHours; // Step 4: Calculate pay var regularPay = finalRegularHours * regularHourlyRate; var overtimePay = finalOvertimeHours * regularHourlyRate * overtimeMultiplier; var totalGrossPay = regularPay + overtimePay; // Display results var resultHtml = '

Understanding Your Work Hours and Pay

Accurately tracking your work hours and understanding how your pay is calculated, especially with overtime, is crucial for both employees and employers. A Work Hour and Pay Calculator simplifies this process, providing clarity on your earnings.

What is a Work Hour and Pay Calculator?

A Work Hour and Pay Calculator is a tool designed to help individuals determine their total regular hours, overtime hours, and the corresponding gross pay for a specific work period, typically a week. It takes into account various factors such as your standard hourly rate, overtime multiplier, and specific daily and weekly overtime thresholds.

Why is Accurate Work Hour Tracking Important?

  • Fair Compensation: Ensures employees are paid correctly for every hour worked, including premium rates for overtime.
  • Budgeting and Financial Planning: Provides a clear picture of gross income, aiding in personal financial management.
  • Compliance: Helps employers comply with labor laws regarding minimum wage, overtime pay, and record-keeping.
  • Productivity Insights: For employers, tracking hours can offer insights into project costs and employee productivity.

How Overtime Works: Daily vs. Weekly Thresholds

Overtime pay is typically a higher rate paid for hours worked beyond a standard work period. The most common overtime rate is "time and a half," meaning 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. Overtime rules can vary by region and employer, but generally fall into two categories:

  • Daily Overtime: This applies when an employee works more than a set number of hours in a single workday. For example, if the daily overtime threshold is 8 hours, any hours worked beyond 8 in that day would be considered daily overtime.
  • Weekly Overtime: This applies when an employee works more than a set number of hours in a standard workweek, typically 40 hours. It's important to note that hours already counted as daily overtime are usually excluded when calculating weekly overtime, to prevent "double-counting" of overtime hours. The calculator handles this by first identifying daily overtime, and then applying weekly overtime to the remaining regular hours.

How to Use the Calculator

To use the Work Hour and Pay Calculator, simply input the following information:

  1. Regular Hourly Rate: Your standard pay rate per hour before any overtime.
  2. Overtime Multiplier: The factor by which your regular rate is increased for overtime hours (e.g., 1.5 for time and a half, 2.0 for double time).
  3. Daily Overtime Threshold: The number of hours worked in a single day after which overtime pay applies (e.g., 8 hours).
  4. Weekly Overtime Threshold: The total number of hours worked in a week after which overtime pay applies (e.g., 40 hours).
  5. Hours Worked Per Day: Enter the number of hours you worked for each day of the week (Day 1 through Day 7). If you didn't work on a particular day, enter '0'.

Once all fields are filled, click the "Calculate Pay" button to see your total regular hours, total overtime hours, regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross pay.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

  • Regular Hourly Rate: $20/hour
  • Overtime Multiplier: 1.5
  • Daily Overtime Threshold: 8 hours
  • Weekly Overtime Threshold: 40 hours
  • Hours Worked:
    • Day 1: 9 hours
    • Day 2: 8 hours
    • Day 3: 10 hours
    • Day 4: 8 hours
    • Day 5: 7 hours
    • Day 6: 4 hours
    • Day 7: 0 hours

Step-by-Step Calculation:

  1. Daily Hours Breakdown:
    • Day 1 (9 hrs): 8 regular, 1 daily OT
    • Day 2 (8 hrs): 8 regular, 0 daily OT
    • Day 3 (10 hrs): 8 regular, 2 daily OT
    • Day 4 (8 hrs): 8 regular, 0 daily OT
    • Day 5 (7 hrs): 7 regular, 0 daily OT
    • Day 6 (4 hrs): 4 regular, 0 daily OT
    • Day 7 (0 hrs): 0 regular, 0 daily OT
  2. Total Daily Regular Hours: 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 4 + 0 = 43 hours
  3. Total Daily Overtime Hours: 1 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 3 hours
  4. Hours Eligible for Weekly Overtime Check: 43 hours (total daily regular hours)
  5. Weekly Overtime Calculation: Since 43 hours > 40 hours (weekly threshold), there are 43 – 40 = 3 hours of weekly overtime. The remaining 40 hours are weekly regular hours.
  6. Final Regular Hours: 40 hours
  7. Final Overtime Hours: 3 (daily OT) + 3 (weekly OT) = 6 hours
  8. Regular Pay: 40 hours * $20/hour = $800
  9. Overtime Pay: 6 hours * ($20/hour * 1.5) = 6 hours * $30/hour = $180
  10. Total Gross Pay: $800 + $180 = $980

Using the calculator, you can quickly verify these results and apply them to your own work schedule.
