How to calculate your total pay for night shifts and overtime?

The total pay for night shifts and overtime can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Pay (TP) is calculated as:

§§ TP = (Hourly Rate × Regular Hours) + (Hourly Rate × Night Shift Multiplier × Night Shift Hours) + (Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours) §§

where:

  • § TP § — total pay
  • § Hourly Rate § — your standard hourly wage
  • § Regular Hours § — the number of hours worked up to 40 hours in a week
  • § Night Shift Multiplier § — the additional pay rate for working during night shifts
  • § Night Shift Hours § — the number of hours worked during the night shift
  • § Overtime Multiplier § — the additional pay rate for overtime hours
  • § Overtime Hours § — the number of hours worked beyond the standard 40 hours

Example:

  1. Hourly Rate: $20
  2. Hours Worked: 45 (40 regular hours + 5 overtime hours)
  3. Overtime Hours: 5
  4. Night Shift Multiplier: 1.5 (for night shifts)
  5. Overtime Multiplier: 2 (for overtime hours)

Calculating Total Pay:

  • Regular Pay for 40 hours: §§ Regular Pay = 20 × 40 = 800 §§

  • Night Shift Pay for 5 hours (assuming all 5 overtime hours are night shift hours): §§ Night Shift Pay = 20 × 1.5 × 5 = 150 §§

  • Overtime Pay for 5 hours: §§ Overtime Pay = 20 × 2 × 5 = 200 §§

  • Total Pay: §§ TP = 800 + 150 + 200 = 1150 §§

When to use the Night Shift Overtime Pay Calculator?

Definitions of Terms Used in the Calculator

  • Hourly Rate: The amount of money you earn for each hour of work.
  • Night Shift: A work shift that takes place during the night, typically starting in the evening and ending in the early morning.
  • Overtime: Hours worked beyond the standard workweek (usually over 40 hours), which are compensated at a higher rate.
  • Multiplier: A factor that increases the base pay rate for specific conditions, such as night shifts or overtime.
