What this means
Overtime pay is typically calculated by multiplying your normal hourly rate by an overtime multiplier (often 1.5x or 2x) for each overtime hour worked. Your employment contract or workplace policy determines the exact rate.
Frequently asked questions
There is no single legal overtime rate in the UK. Many employers pay time-and-a-half (1.5x) or double time (2x), but this depends on your contract and sector.
Employers are not legally required to pay extra for overtime unless your contract says so. However, your average pay must not fall below the National Minimum Wage.
Divide your annual salary by your contracted hours per year to get an hourly rate, then apply your overtime multiplier to the extra hours worked.
