What Is Overtime?

Overtime is the extra time you work beyond your normal working hours, and it’s usually paid at a higher rate than your regular pay.

Quick Example

  • First 40 hours → Regular pay.
  • Remaining 10 hours → Overtime pay.
  • The calculator combines both and shows the total instantly.
