About this calculator

How it works

Regular pay = hourly rate × regular hours.

Overtime pay = hourly rate × multiplier × overtime hours. The typical multiplier is 1.5 (time and a half); some agreements or special days use 2.

The effective rate divides gross pay by total hours, so you can see what you actually earn per hour worked.

Example

At $12.00/hour with 40 regular hours and 6 overtime hours at 1.5x: regular pay is $480.00, overtime is 12 × 1.5 × 6 = $108.00, and gross pay is $588.00. The effective rate rises to $12.78 per hour.

Important limitations

  • This is a pay-estimation tool, not a legal determination. Don't assume every worker in Puerto Rico is entitled to the same multiplier.
  • What applies to you depends on your employer, whether your position is exempt or non-exempt, any collective bargaining agreement and current law. Confirm your case with your employer or the Department of Labor and Human Resources.
  • The result is gross pay: it does not deduct taxes, Social Security, Medicare or payroll deductions.
  • Bonuses, shift differentials and tips are not included.
