Free tool · Overtime · India
Free India overtime wage calculator
Enter one person's ordinary hourly rate and the hours they worked each day this week. The calculator estimates overtime hours and overtime pay. By default it uses overtime after more than 9 hours in a day or more than 48 hours in a week, at twice the ordinary rate, and then takes the higher of a daily-basis figure and a weekly-basis figure. Those defaults are a starting point only. If your adviser gives you different hour limits or a different method, type those in before you trust the number.

Overtime pay
Enter an hourly rate and the hours for the week, or load a worked example. Nothing is sent anywhere.
How the calculation works
- Daily-basis overtime hours are the hours above the daily threshold each day, added up.
- Weekly-basis overtime hours are the hours above the weekly threshold for the whole week.
- The tool uses the greater of those two figures.
- Normal pay is the remaining hours at the ordinary rate. Overtime pay is overtime hours at the multiplier you set (default 2×).
- Ordinary rate should be basic wages plus allowances, and should not include bonus or overtime. Confirm the definition that applies to the establishment.
How to read the default
The default hour limits and the twice-ordinary-rate figure are a starting point only. They may not apply to your establishment. Many offices, shops and professional firms are not factories. State rules vary, and more than one law can be in play. This page does not invent a nationwide hour figure under any later code. If your adviser gives you a figure or a different method, type it into the thresholds.
If you need to apply only one test, or a different combination of daily and weekly figures, confirm that method with your adviser before you pay anyone.
When you want the hours already in one place
A calculator is useful for a one-week check. If you already record clock-in, leave and overtime requests in one system, you spend less time retyping hours into a sheet. Trakkar is time tracking, attendance and GST invoicing software for Indian service businesses, used by 100+ teams, at ₹120/user/month + GST. People clock in from the web app or the phone app, and admins choose which ones the team can use. Overtime requests go through the same approval queue as leave, work-from-home and time corrections, including from the Android and iPhone apps.
See attendance management software for India or the monthly attendance percentage calculator.
Questions
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a working aid. Confirm the applicable rules and the numbers with your adviser before you pay anyone.
Why are the default limits 9 hours and 48 hours?
They are a starting point only. Change them if a different limit applies to your establishment.
My team is in an office, not a factory. Can I still use this?
You can use it as an estimate if you enter the hour limits that actually apply. The default is not automatically right for an office or a CA firm.
Is the calculator free?
Yes. No sign-up needed.
