Overtime pay calculator
How the overtime pay calculator works in Ireland
Overtime pay is your normal hourly rate boosted by a multiplier, paid on the extra hours you work:
At €20 an hour on time-and-a-half (1.5×), each overtime hour is worth €30; 5 hours comes to €150. Switch to 2× (double time) and the same 5 hours pays €200. It's pure arithmetic with no tax data, so it never goes out of date.
These are gross amounts — overtime is taxed like the rest of your pay. See take-home with the net salary calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate overtime pay in Ireland?
Multiply your hourly rate by the multiplier, then by overtime hours. €20 × 1.5 × 5 = €150 (an overtime rate of €30/hour).
Is premium overtime pay required by law?
There's no statutory right to a premium rate in Ireland unless your contract or agreement provides one. Many employers pay 1.5× or 2× — check your contract.
Is overtime taxed differently?
No — it's taxed like normal pay via income tax, USC and PRSI. Use the net salary calculator for take-home.
