What is Overtime Pay Calculator?
An overtime pay calculator helps employees and employers determine correct compensation for hours worked beyond regular working hours. It ensures compliance with labor laws by automatically applying overtime rates (typically 1.5x regular pay) to extra hours. This tool eliminates manual calculation errors and helps in payroll management, financial planning, and maintaining fair labor practices. Users simply input their regular hours, hourly rate, and overtime rate to instantly see their total earnings.
