Timesheet pay calculator

What the result means

A timesheet block is split into ordinary and overtime hours at a threshold you choose. It does not roster lunch breaks or span midnight by itself — use the shift calculator for start and finish times.

How it is calculated

Ordinary hours = min(hours, threshold). Overtime hours = max(hours − threshold, 0)

• Threshold: Hours paid at the ordinary rate.

Pay is ordinary hours × rate plus overtime hours × rate × multiplier.

Worked example

10 hours, overtime after 8, $40 at 1.5

A long day.

Ordinary

8 × $40 = $320

Overtime

2 × $60 = $120

Total

$440

Two overtime hours at time-and-a-half add 50% more than two ordinary hours.

Thresholds come from the agreement

Daily overtime after 8 hours is a common pattern, not a universal rule. Some workplaces use weekly overtime after 38 hours instead. Enter the threshold that actually applies.

A 10-hour day at $40 with overtime after 8 at time-and-a-half is $320 ordinary plus $120 overtime, $440 in total. Putting the same 10 hours through as ordinary time would understate the pay by $80. If the award tiers after two overtime hours, run the second tier separately and add it.
