How to use this result
Keep regular and double-time hours separate. If eight of 40 total hours receive double time, enter 32 regular hours and eight double-time hours, rather than entering 40 and eight.
This calculator prices a confirmed arrangement. It does not determine whether a holiday, seventh day, or long shift qualifies for double time.

Common questions
Does double time include my normal pay?
Yes. A $30 base rate becomes $60 total per hour, including the base portion.
Can I add time-and-a-half hours too?
This tool has regular and double-time buckets only. Calculate another premium bucket separately, ensuring hours are not counted twice.
