The overtime multiplier is typically 1.5 for most jobs, but it can vary depending on your employment contract.

Worked Examples
Let's look at a couple of examples to see how the time card calculator works.
Example 1: Standard Work Week
You work 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at $20 per hour.
- Regular Pay = $20 × 40 = $800
- Overtime Pay = $20 × 5 × 1.5 = $150
- Total Pay = $800 + $150 = $950
Example 2: High Overtime Week
You work 30 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at $25 per hour.
- Regular Pay = $25 × 30 = $750
