Your overtime
The currency is whatever you enter, and the result is before tax. The legal multiplier depends on your country and contract.
Wage × hours × multiplier
Ten hours of overtime on a wage of 20 at a 1.5 multiplier pays 300 — 200 of it is what the hours would earn at the plain rate, and 100 is the premium. The result shows the split, because the premium is the part owed specifically for the overtime being overtime.
The multiplier is an input for a reason
There is no world standard: legal floors run from no premium at all to double pay, and night work or holidays often carry their own rates on top. 1.5 is only a common default — the number that applies to you comes from your law, your contract or a collective agreement.
A multiplier is not a premium percentage
A law that promises "a 25% premium" means each overtime hour pays 125% of the wage — enter 1.25, not 25 or 0.25. And the multiplier touches only hours that count as overtime; regular hours stay at the plain rate.

Frequently asked questions
Q. What does US law require?
Under the federal FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours beyond 40 in a workweek. There is no federal daily threshold, though some states — California most prominently — add daily overtime rules of their own.
Q. Does the multiplier apply to my whole paycheck?
No — only to the overtime hours. Working 45 hours at a 1.5 multiplier means 40 hours at the plain wage plus 5 at one and a half times it, not 45 at the higher rate. This calculator prices just the overtime block.
Q. Which currency, and is this before tax?
Whichever you type — the wage sets the unit and the answer comes back in it. The result is gross: overtime pay is taxed like the rest of your income, so what lands in your account will be less.
