How to calculate your total overtime pay?

To calculate your total overtime pay, you can use the following formula:

Total Overtime Pay (P) is calculated as:

§§ P = H \times M \times O §§

where:

  • § P § — total overtime pay
  • § H § — hourly rate
  • § M § — overtime multiplier
  • § O § — number of overtime hours worked

This formula allows you to determine how much you will earn for the extra hours you worked beyond your regular schedule.

Example:

  • Hourly Rate (§ H §): $20
  • Overtime Hours (§ O §): 5
  • Overtime Multiplier (§ M §): 1.5

Total Overtime Pay:

§§ P = 20 \times 1.5 \times 5 = 150 §$
