How the calculation works
Enter shifts from a single weekly period, including unpaid breaks. Overnight shifts require the next marker. The weekly threshold separates regular from overtime hours using your selected multiplier. The tool does not detect overlapping shifts or decide legal eligibility, daily overtime, paid-break rules or payroll rounding.
A worked example
Five shifts of 09:00–17:30 with 30-minute unpaid breaks give 40 paid hours. At $20/hour, gross pay is $800.
Reading your result
Use the main result together with its units and supporting figures. Display values are rounded; calculations keep their underlying precision. A change in inputs or assumptions can change the answer. Compare the step-by-step working with your intended use before relying on an estimate.
