Why use Overtime Calculator?

This calculator splits hours worked into regular and overtime portions based on a threshold you set (commonly 40 hours per week), then applies your hourly rate to regular hours and your hourly rate times the overtime multiplier to overtime hours. This is a gross-pay calculation — for take-home pay after taxes, use the Paycheck Calculator.
