Direct answer
The calculator separates ordinary hours from overtime hours and applies only the multiplier entered by the user.
Calculate Australian weekly ordinary and overtime pay from entered hours, hourly rate and the multiplier from an award, agreement or contract.
Use the Australian pay and tax calculator hub to choose the next calculation without repeating the same intent.
Formula and 2026-27 method
Gross weekly pay = ordinary hours × hourly rate + overtime hours × hourly rate × multiplier.
The calculation is versioned for the Australian 2026-27 financial year. The result panel keeps the period and source status visible so a value is not detached from the rules that produced it.
To compare this result with another relevant method, open the Australian Hourly to Salary Calculator. Convert an Australian hourly rate to weekly, fortnightly, monthly and annual gross salary with separate ordinary and user-entered overtime pay.
Worked Australian example
38 hours at AUD 35 plus 5 hours at 1.5× equals AUD 1,592.50 gross for the week.
Working precision is retained through the method. Displayed currency is rounded only at the final output unless the ATO payroll schedule itself requires whole-dollar rounding.
How to interpret the result
Main boundary: Overtime, penalties, breaks, casual loading and ordinary-hour rules vary by award, agreement and contract.
Keep gross pay, tax liability, payroll withholding, Medicare, study-loan repayments, super and employment entitlements separate. They answer different questions even when they appear on the same payslip.
What this CalculatorGeek version makes explicit
- The exact Australian financial year and effective date.
- The difference between annual tax liability and pay-run withholding where relevant.
- Super paid on top versus included in a package where relevant.
- Formula components, rounding, limitations and source links beside the result.
- Distinct next-step calculators instead of duplicate thin pages for weekly, fortnightly and take-home wording.
