With overtime, the cap matters as much as the amount
It works out the hourly rate, the uplift for the type of work, and the gross difference to add to the month. It also shows where the same pace, spread across a year, puts you against the statutory quota.
Three types • Uplifted hourly rate • Annual quota indicator
Month and overtime details
The amount updates instantly along with the multiplier for the selected type of work.
Work exceeding the statutory weekly hours. These hours count towards the annual cap.

Same hour, different multiplier
Which day the work falls on changes the pay directly. Work on holidays costs half as much again as ordinary overtime.
| Type of overtime | Uplift | Multiplier | Kapsam |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overtime | 50% | ×1,5 | Work exceeding the statutory weekly hours. These hours count towards the annual cap. |
| Weekly rest day | 100% | ×2 | Work during the uninterrupted twenty-four-hour weekly rest. Time off in lieu can also be requested. |
| Public holiday | 100% | ×2 | Work on an official holiday can only be required with the employee’s written consent. |
Eleven hours a day cannot be exceeded
Even when the weekly total stays under forty-five, work beyond eleven hours in a day counts as overtime and is paid at the uplifted rate.
Written consent is required
Overtime depends on the employee’s written consent. Work required without it is improper, even if the pay is made.
Averaging spreads the hours
If the weekly average does not exceed forty-five over a two-month averaging period, it does not count as overtime even where individual weeks go over.
The calculation in four steps
Each line in the panel is the output of one of these steps.
Find the hourly rate
The monthly gross wage is divided by the product of the thirty-day and seven-and-a-half-hour assumptions to give the rate per hour.
Apply the uplift
For overtime the hourly rate rises by half; for work on the weekly rest day and public holidays it doubles.
Calculate the monthly difference
The uplifted hourly rate is multiplied by the extra hours worked that month; the result is the gross amount to add to the salary.
Check against the cap
Spread across a year, does this monthly pace exceed the statutory cap? If it does, the planning needs revisiting.

The other calculations on the same payroll
The overtime difference is added to the month; termination and leave items are read from the same wage data in the exit file.
The calculator produces a gross amount under Articles 41, 44 and 47 of Labour Law No. 4857; it does not convert to net, because tax and deductions vary with each person’s cumulative annual base. It is for information only and does not replace a payroll output.
Calculate overtime from records, not estimates
When clock records flow into timesheets and timesheets into payroll, the overtime amount and the annual quota tracking come out without anyone calculating by hand.
