Overtime pay is additional compensation paid to employees for working beyond their regular working hours. In India, as per the Factories Act, 1948 and various state labor laws, employees are entitled to overtime pay at twice the normal rate (2x) for extra hours worked.
Our calculator supports daily, weekly, and monthly overtime calculations with multipliers like 2x (normal/weekly off/holiday) and 2.5x (night shift). It works for both salaried and hourly employees, complying with Indian labor regulations.
Step 1: Hourly Rate = (Basic + DA + Other Allowances) ÷ Total Monthly Hours
Step 2: OT Rate = Hourly Rate × Multiplier (2x or 2.5x)
Step 3: OT Pay = OT Hours × OT Rate
* Total Monthly Hours = Working Days × 8 hours (typically 26 × 8 = 208 hours)
Given:
• Basic Salary: ₹50,000/month
• DA: ₹5,000/month
• Working Days: 26 days
• OT Hours: 10 hours
• Multiplier: 2x
Calculation:
Hourly Rate = (₹50,000 + ₹5,000) ÷ (26 × 8) = ₹55,000 ÷ 208 = ₹264.42/hr
OT Rate = ₹264.42 × 2 = ₹528.85/hr
OT Pay = 10 × ₹528.85 = ₹5,288.50
OT Pay = OT Hours × Hourly Wage × Multiplier
Example: 5 OT hours × ₹250/hr × 2 = ₹2,500 OT pay
| OT Type | Multiplier | When Applicable | Legal Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Day OT | 2x | Work beyond 8 hrs/day or 48 hrs/week | Factories Act, 1948 |
| Weekly Off OT | 2x | Work on weekly off day | Factories Act, 1948 |
| Public Holiday OT | 2x | Work on national/state holidays | State-specific laws |
| Night Shift OT | 2.5x | Work between 10 PM - 6 AM | State-specific laws |
