Overtime Pay Calculator Pakistan
Calculate overtime pay for extra hours worked, based on your hourly rate. Under Pakistan labour law, overtime is paid at double the normal hourly rate.
Introduction
Under Pakistan's Factories Act 1934 and provincial labour laws, workers who work beyond normal working hours are entitled to overtime pay at double their ordinary wage rate. Overtime is common in factories, security services, transport, and hospitality. This calculator helps both workers and employers calculate the correct overtime amount.
What is this calculator?
The Overtime Pay Calculator Pakistan computes overtime pay based on monthly salary, normal working hours, and overtime hours worked. It applies the double-rate rule for overtime.
Formula
Hourly Rate = Monthly Salary ÷ (Working Days × Working Hours per Day)
Overtime Rate = Hourly Rate × 2
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate
How to use the calculator
- Enter your monthly salary.
- Enter working days per month (usually 26).
- Enter working hours per day (usually 8).
- Enter overtime hours worked.
- Click Calculate Overtime Pay.
Practical Pakistan-specific example
Example： Monthly salary Rs. 37,000, 26 working days, 8 hours/day, 20 overtime hours
- Hourly rate: 37,000 ÷ (26 × 8) = Rs. 177.88
- Overtime rate: Rs. 355.77/hour
- Overtime pay: 20 × 355.77 = Rs. 7,115.38
Common mistakes
- Using monthly salary ÷ 30 for daily rate (should be 26 working days).
- Not applying the double-rate rule.
- Exceeding the legal overtime limit (maximum 12 hours per week under Factories Act).
