Formula used

Paid shift minutes = elapsed minutes − unpaid break minutes. Overtime minutes = max(0, paid shift minutes − regular threshold × 60). Regular minutes = paid shift minutes − overtime minutes. Gross pay = regular hours × base rate + overtime hours × base rate × overtime multiplier.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Use this as a clean arithmetic check before applying payroll rules.

  • The regular-hours threshold is entered by the user and must come from the rule you are checking.
  • Break minutes are unpaid and deducted before overtime is measured.
  • Gross pay is an estimate before tax, leave loading, allowances, superannuation, national insurance, rounding and deductions.
  • This is a planning calculator using transparent general arithmetic, not a legal payroll ruling.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: use this for one-shift what-if checks only. For a full week, daily entries, multiple penalty rates or jurisdiction modes, use the Payroll Time Card page instead.

What-if check

Standard-hour threshold sensitivity

Same paid shift, compared against common daily thresholds. This keeps the arithmetic separate from the workplace rule that decides which threshold applies.

Visual proof

Regular vs overtime split

Paid: 9h 30mRegular: 8h 00mOvertime: 1h 30m

The blue segment is paid time inside the selected regular threshold. The gold segment is paid time above that threshold. At 25.00/h and 1.50× overtime, estimated gross pay is 256.25 (200.00 regular + 56.25 overtime).

Visual grid

This result is a slice of the working week

Hours and minutes are micro-time. Mapping them onto a week shows how a simple total becomes part of payroll, breaks, overtime thresholds and workday rules.

Method

Paid shift minutes = elapsed minutes − unpaid break minutes. Overtime minutes = max(0, paid shift minutes − regular threshold × 60). Regular minutes = paid shift minutes − overtime minutes. Gross pay = regular hours × base rate + overtime hours × base rate × overtime multiplier.

  1. 8:00 to 18:00 is 600 elapsed minutes. Minus 30 minutes break = 570 paid minutes. A regular 8-hour threshold is 480 minutes, so overtime is 570 − 480 = 90 minutes. At 25/hour and 1.5× overtime, gross pay is 8 × 25 + 1.5 × 25 × 1.5 = 256.25.

Assumptions

  • The regular-hours threshold is entered by the user and must come from the rule you are checking.
  • Break minutes are unpaid and deducted before overtime is measured.
  • Gross pay is an estimate before tax, leave loading, allowances, superannuation, national insurance, rounding and deductions.
  • This is a planning calculator using transparent general arithmetic, not a legal payroll ruling.
