Overtime & Penalty Rate Calculator

Estimate gross pay when a shift or pay period contains hours paid at different multipliers.

Enter your hours and verified rates to calculate.
Important: TORVILO does not decide which penalty or overtime rate applies. Fair Work says penalty-rate entitlements depend on the applicable award or workplace arrangement. Verify your rate before using it here.

How to use this calculator

Enter the base hourly rate you have verified, then split your paid hours across ordinary time, 1.5×, 2× and an optional custom multiplier. TORVILO calculates each category separately and adds them together.

Why the multiplier is not chosen automatically

Australian penalty and overtime rates are not one universal set of percentages. The rate can depend on the award, registered agreement, employment type, when the work occurs and other circumstances. Fair Work says penalty rates may apply to weekends, public holidays, overtime, late nights and early mornings.

Check the Fair Work Ombudsman penalty rates information and the award or agreement that applies to you.

Example

If your verified base rate is $30 per hour and you enter 8 ordinary hours plus 2 hours at 1.5×, the estimate is $240 ordinary pay plus $90 overtime pay, for $330 gross before tax.
