How are the results calculated?
Actual hourly wage = (basic wage + included allowances) ÷ 30 ÷ daily working hours.
Overtime hourly pay = actual hourly wage + 50% × (basic wage ÷ 30 ÷ daily working hours).
The unrounded overtime rate is multiplied by each category’s hours. Each category amount is rounded to a halala, then both are added.
Assumptions and limits
- The formula reflects Article 107: the premium applies to basic pay only. All hours worked on holidays and rest days count as overtime; no higher multiplier is assumed without a more favorable agreement.
- The estimate assumes a 30-day month and fixed monthly pay. It does not determine qualifying hours from attendance. Review the contract, work rules and permitted hours before using it. Paid compensatory leave may be agreed with employee consent under applicable rules; it is not calculated here.

Using the tool and understanding your results
Calculate the overtime hourly rate and total pay from basic wage and included allowances. Enter daily working hours and overtime hours, with a separate field for rest days and holidays.
How is overtime hourly pay calculated?
The calculator adds actual hourly wage to 50% of basic hourly wage. It converts monthly pay using a 30-day month and the daily hours you enter, then multiplies the resulting rate by overtime hours.
Is overtime always total salary multiplied by 1.5?
That is not this calculator’s formula when allowances are included. Basic pay and applicable allowances contribute to actual hourly wage, while the 50% premium applies only to basic hourly wage.
How do I calculate work on rest days and holidays?
Enter those hours in the rest-day and holiday field; they are treated as overtime. The calculator shows that amount separately from workday overtime, then adds both without assuming a higher holiday multiplier.
