How to use an overtime calculator

Use Nestfigure’s overtime tool when you want transparent multiplication—not a legal opinion.

Steps

1. Enter your hourly rate.
2. Enter regular hours for the period (often a week).
3. Enter overtime hours and the multiplier (commonly illustrated as 1.5).
4. Optional: double-time hours and multiplier (commonly illustrated as 2).
5. Read total pay, pay mix chart, and the OT-hours comparison table.
