This overtime pay calculator applies the correct rate multiplier for you, defaulting to the 2x statutory rate that Indian labour law sets for overtime, instead of asking you to pre-multiply your own wage. Enter an hourly wage or a monthly salary, pick the multiplier that applies to you, and get the total instantly. If overtime pushes your annual income into a higher slab, check the effect with the income tax calculator. No sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
An overtime pay calculator only earns its keep if it gets the rate right, and in India that rate is not your regular hourly wage. It is double your regular wage, because that is what the law sets for hours worked beyond the standard day or week. This tool asks for your regular rate, applies the multiplier you choose, defaulting to the statutory 2x, and shows the total alongside the effective rate it used, so the number is checkable rather than just handed to you.
It is built for two different readers who land here for different reasons: someone paid hourly who wants their overtime total for a specific week, and someone on a monthly salary trying to work out what their overtime should be worth before raising it with HR. Enter a monthly figure directly if that is what you hold, and the calculator converts it using the same 26-day, 8-hour basis as the Salary to Hourly Calculator. Overtime income is fully taxable, so once you have the figure, the income tax calculator shows whether it moves you into a higher slab. Every related tool sits on the salary calculators hub.
Pick your wage basis, choose the multiplier that applies to you, and get the total with the maths shown alongside it.
Six real runs of the calculator above, at different wage bases and multipliers.
| Wage Basis | Regular Rate | Multiplier | OT Hours | Total Overtime Pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly, ₹200/hr | ₹200.00/hr | 2x | 10 | ₹4,000.00 |
| Hourly, ₹500/hr | ₹500.00/hr | 2x | 8 | ₹8,000.00 |
| Hourly, ₹500/hr | ₹500.00/hr | 1.5x | 8 | ₹6,000.00 |
| Monthly, ₹20,000/mo | ₹96.15/hr derived at 208 hrs | 2x | 10 | ₹1,923.08 |
| Monthly, ₹30,000/mo | ₹144.23/hr derived at 208 hrs | 2x | 12 | ₹3,461.54 |
| Monthly, ₹50,000/mo | ₹240.38/hr derived at 208 hrs | 1.5x | 15 | ₹5,408.65 |
The monthly rows derive an hourly rate first, at 26 working days x 8 hours, then apply the same rate x multiplier x hours formula as the hourly rows. Every figure above is gross overtime pay before income tax and before any other statutory deduction.
This overtime calculator turns a wage, a multiplier and a number of hours into a total, and shows the rate it used to get there. It is for anyone paid hourly who wants a quick total for a specific stretch of extra hours, and for anyone on a monthly salary who wants to check what their overtime should be worth before it comes up with HR. It does not decide whether you are legally entitled to overtime; that depends on your employment category and your contract, and the FAQ below and the technical notes explain the boundaries.
The formula this calculator runs is:
If you hold a monthly salary instead of an hourly rate, the calculator derives the hourly figure first, using 26 working days x 8 hours a month, the same basis the Salary to Hourly Calculator uses. A ₹30,000 monthly salary becomes roughly ₹144 an hour on this basis, and that figure is what the multiplier applies to.
Overtime pay is treated as regular income for tax purposes under the current financial year's slabs, with no special exemption. Run the total through the income tax calculator if it might push your annual income into a higher band.
India's overtime framework changed on 21 November 2025, when four Labour Codes came into force and repealed 29 older central laws, including the Factories Act, 1948. Overtime is now governed by the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, sections 25 and 27. The core rule that made this page useful has not changed: overtime is still paid at twice the ordinary rate of wages. What moved is the citation, the daily trigger, and the quarterly ceiling.
Central Rules under the OSH Code apply directly to central-sphere establishments (railways, banking, telecom, mines, ports, central PSUs and some multi-state employers). Most other workplaces follow their state's own rules, and several states were still finalising theirs well into 2026 under the Code's savings provisions. Confirm which rules apply to your employer before relying on any single figure here.
Three figures get confused often enough to be worth separating. Overtime pay compensates specific extra hours worked, computed by this calculator. A bonus, covered by the bonus calculator, is a statutory or discretionary share of profit or performance and has nothing to do with hours worked. Take-home pay, covered by the in-hand salary calculator, is what lands in your account after income tax, provident fund and any other deduction, on your overtime-inclusive income. The total this page prints sits above all three: it is gross overtime pay, before tax, and before any of those other calculators are run on top of it.
Reach for it when a payslip's overtime line does not match your own arithmetic, when you are deciding whether a long week was worth it before agreeing to it, or when you are comparing a 1.5x contractual rate against the 2x statutory default to see the difference in rupees rather than in principle. It is equally useful for a payroll or HR team spot-checking a manual calculation before it goes into a payslip.
The calculator applies the rate you select to the hours you enter. It does not determine whether you are legally entitled to overtime, whether your employer's rules match the statutory default, or which state's rules apply to you. Check your appointment letter, your state's OSH Code rules, and if in doubt, your HR team or a labour law practitioner.
Under Section 27 of the OSH Code, 2020, an employer may only require overtime with the worker's consent. This is an explicit change from the earlier framework and applies alongside the rate calculation this tool performs.
Draft Central Rules round extra time of 15 to 30 minutes up to 30 minutes, and anything over 30 minutes up to a full hour. This calculator does not apply that rounding for you; enter the hours as your employer's records state them.
Overtime under the OSH Code is computed on the ordinary rate of wages, broadly basic pay plus dearness allowance, not your full CTC. The Code on Wages, 2019 also requires basic plus DA to be at least half of total remuneration, which has raised this base for employees whose basic pay was previously kept low. If your hourly figure comes from a CTC-based calculator rather than a payslip, it may run higher than the statutory wage base.
The quarterly ceiling restricts how many overtime hours an employer can assign in a quarter. It does not change the per-hour rate or this calculator's arithmetic for any single entry.
Every figure you enter and every result shown is computed locally in JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, stored, or shared. Refreshing or closing the tab clears it.
An hourly contractor totalling a week's extra shifts before invoicing a client. A factory or warehouse worker checking a payslip's overtime line against the 2x rate. A salaried employee working out what a weekend project would be worth if their contract does pay overtime, before agreeing to it. An HR or payroll executive spot-checking a manual overtime entry, or comparing a 1.5x contractual clause against the statutory 2x default before drafting a policy. Use the hourly to salary calculator alongside it if you also want to see what a rate implies annually.
It multiplies your regular hourly rate by the multiplier you choose, then by the overtime hours you enter: Total Overtime Pay = Regular Rate x Multiplier x Hours. The multiplier defaults to 2x, the rate Indian labour law sets for overtime, so you do not need to pre-multiply your own wage before typing it in. Switch to 1.5x only if your contract or state rule specifically sets a different rate.
It is twice your ordinary rate of wages. Until 21 November 2025 this came from the Factories Act, 1948; it now comes from Section 27 of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, which replaced the Factories Act along with 28 other central laws. The rate itself has not changed. What moved is the citation, the daily trigger (8 hours, not 9), and the quarterly cap, now 125 hours under the Central Rules.
Convert the monthly figure to an hourly rate first, then apply the multiplier. The standard basis is 26 working days x 8 hours a month, 208 hours. A ₹30,000 monthly salary becomes about ₹144 an hour, so 10 overtime hours at the statutory 2x rate come to roughly ₹2,885. Enter the monthly figure directly using the Monthly Salary option above, or convert it first with the Salary to Hourly Calculator.
It is broadly your basic pay plus dearness allowance, not your full CTC or gross salary. The Code on Wages, 2019 also requires basic pay plus DA to be at least half of total remuneration, which has raised this base for employees whose basic pay was previously kept low. If your hourly figure comes from a CTC-based calculator rather than a payslip, it may run higher than the statutory wage base overtime is actually computed on.
Yes. The Overtime Hours field accepts any decimal value, so 2.5 covers two hours and thirty minutes, and 3.75 covers three hours and forty five minutes. The field steps by 0.5 by default, but you can type any figure directly and the calculator uses it exactly as entered, with no rounding applied.
Yes. Overtime pay is treated as regular salary income and is fully taxable under both the Old and New Tax Regime at your applicable slab rate. There is no special exemption for overtime earnings. If adding your overtime pay to your annual income crosses a higher slab boundary, the portion above that threshold is taxed at the higher rate. Check the effect with the Income Tax Calculator on this site.
Central Rules under the OSH Code, 2020 set a 125-hour cap on overtime a worker can be assigned per quarter, replacing the Factories Act's lower limit. States may notify their own rules, and some had not finalised theirs well into 2026, so the figure that actually applies can vary by employer and location. This calculator does not enforce any cap; it computes pay for any number of hours entered.
Generally yes, and often at a higher rate than ordinary overtime, though the exact multiplier depends on your state's rules and your employment contract rather than a single national figure. The OSH Code, 2020 guarantees a weekly rest day and compensatory holidays where a worker is required to work through one. Confirm the specific rate your employer applies for holiday work before relying on this calculator's default multiplier for that day.
Set up three columns: Regular Hourly Rate, Multiplier and Overtime Hours, then multiply them across in a fourth column, for example =A2*B2*C2. Keep the multiplier as its own column rather than hardcoding it, so a 2x row and a 1.5x row can sit side by side. This calculator does the same three-factor multiplication instantly, without needing a spreadsheet open.
Not always. Many IT and knowledge-sector employees in India work under fixed-compensation contracts with no statutory overtime entitlement, and some companies offer compensatory time off instead of overtime pay. Whether the 2x statutory rate applies to you depends on your employment category, your state's rules, and the specific terms in your appointment letter. Check your contract, or ask HR, before assuming this calculator's default rate applies to your situation.
No. Every calculation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you enter is sent to a server, stored in a database, or shared with any third party. Your wage and hours figures exist only in your browser tab and disappear the moment you navigate away or close the tab.
Whether you are paid by the hour, on a monthly salary, or running payroll for a small team, the maths behind an overtime figure is the same: a regular rate, a multiplier, and the hours worked. This calculator applies that maths correctly by default, so the only judgement call left to you is which multiplier your situation actually uses.
Enter your rate, pick your multiplier, and get the total instantly. No sign-up needed.
