Timesheet pay calculator
Turn a block of hours into pay, with overtime after a daily or weekly threshold you choose.
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.
Assumptions
- Estimates only — not tax, legal, credit or financial advice. Check the official source or your contract before relying on a figure.
- One block of hours, one rate, one 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.
Questions
Can I enter a whole fortnight?
Yes, if your overtime rule is weekly or fortnightly. Set the threshold to 38 or 76 as the agreement requires.
