Overtime Calculator

Hour difference = actual hours − target hours\nOvertime = positive hour difference\nOvertime value = overtime × hourly wage\nValue incl. bonus = overtime value × (1 + bonus)

Example: With 160 target hours, 172 actual hours, an hourly wage of €20 and a 25% overtime bonus, the calculator shows 12 overtime hours. Their basic value is €240, and the estimated payout increases further when the bonus is included.

An overtime calculator is especially useful when you want to check how many extra hours you worked and what financial value they may have. This is practical for time tracking, self-checks, job comparisons and salary discussions.

The value of overtime depends directly on your hourly wage. If you want a more precise hourly value, also use the hourly wage calculator and the salary calculator.

Overtime is easier to understand when you know your regular working time. That is where the working time calculator becomes especially useful. Combined with vacation entitlement, you get a more realistic picture of your working year.

An overtime bonus increases the financial value of your extra work. In practice, however, the rule may depend on contract, collective agreement or company policy. That is why this calculator is designed as an orientation tool.

This calculator is especially useful when you want to value overtime quickly or compare different pay-out and time scenarios. It helps you estimate the real value of extra work much more clearly.

Use the calculator for self-checks, negotiation preparation and first scenarios. For binding figures, always also review your time records, contract, collective rules and professional advice where needed.

In real employment situations, overtime is not always paid out directly. Many employers use time accounts, flex-time balances or time off in lieu instead. This calculator therefore focuses on the estimated monetary value of overtime, while the actual outcome depends on your employment contract and workplace rules.

This calculator is also useful for part-time jobs and flexible work arrangements. In those situations it is often less obvious when actual overtime begins. By comparing target hours and actual hours directly, you get a clearer basis for evaluating additional work.

Your result is only as good as your input. Target hours are the contractually expected or planned monthly hours. Actual hours are the hours really worked. The gap between them is what creates overtime or missing hours and makes any payout estimate meaningful.

The value shown here is a gross estimate. Real payouts can differ because of taxes, social contributions, time-account rules, premium structures or time-off arrangements. Use this page for comparisons and rough evaluation, not as a substitute for payroll documents or legal review.
