Overtime Hours Calculator (Split Regular and Overtime)
Split total hours worked into regular hours and overtime hours.
This result splits the total hours into regular hours and overtime hours, so each part can be paid at its own rate.
Formula
Overtime = total hours minus standard hours, floored at zero. Regular hours = total hours minus overtime.
How it works
Enter total hours worked and the standard weekly hours for the job. The calculator splits the total into regular and overtime hours, so payroll can apply different rates to each part.
Worked example
For example, 48 total hours with a 40-hour standard week gives 8 overtime hours and 40 regular hours: 48 − 40 = 8, and 48 − 8 = 40.
FAQs
What counts as overtime?
Any hours above the standard threshold you enter — commonly 40 per week, but it varies by contract and country.
What if total hours are below standard?
Overtime is 0 and all hours are regular.
Does this calculate overtime pay?
No. It gives hours only; multiply overtime hours by your overtime rate separately for pay.
