Overtime calculator

Hourly rate, 50% and 100% overtime, night premium and rest pay.

Find out what your hour is worth, how much overtime at 50% and 100% pays, how much the night premium adds (with the reduced 52min30s night hour) and how weekly rest pay applies to the month’s overtime. Enter salary and hours — the calculation appears line by line.

How to use

  1. Enter your monthly salary and weekly hours (44 h is the Brazilian standard).
  2. Type how many overtime hours at 50% and 100% you worked, and how many between 10pm and 5am.
  3. Adjust working days and Sundays/holidays for the rest-pay calculation.
  4. See the hourly rate, each overtime type and the total.

How overtime is calculated

First the regular hour: salary ÷ monthly hours. For a 44-hour week, monthly hours are 220. Then the premium: 50% for ordinary overtime and 100% on Sundays and holidays without compensating rest.

Night premium and the 52-minute hour

Between 10pm and 5am there are two advantages: a 20% premium and the reduced night hour — every 52 minutes and 30 seconds counts as a full hour. Seven clock hours at night are paid as eight.

Rest pay on overtime

Habitual overtime also increases paid weekly rest: total overtime ÷ working days × Sundays and holidays. To see what actually lands in your account after deductions, use the net salary calculator.
