What is Overtime?
Overtime pay in Australia is compensation for hours worked beyond standard full-time hours (38 hours per week). Most awards and agreements require overtime to be paid at time-and-a-half or double-time rates.
How this calculator works
Enter your base hourly rate and the calculator applies standard penalty rates: time-and-a-half (1.5× your base rate) for the first overtime hours, and double-time (2× your base rate) for extended overtime or weekend/public holiday work. The breakdown shows your total weekly pay split between normal hours, time-and-a-half hours, and double-time hours, so you can verify your pay slip is correct. Rates shown follow common award conditions — check your specific award or enterprise agreement for exact overtime provisions.
