Calculate extra pay for eligible night, evening or weekend hours using a flat amount or percentage, then review the gross-pay breakdown.
Straight-time earnings = base rate × total hours + eligible hours × premium. Weighted regular rate = straight-time earnings ÷ total hours. Gross = straight-time earnings + 0.5 × regular rate × overtime hours.
Results depend on your inputs. Read the calculation methodology.
At $20/hour, a 10% differential adds $2 for each eligible hour. Twenty eligible hours add $40 to weekly gross pay.

Calculate →Workforce PlanningConvert workload hours into productive and scheduled full-time equivalents.
Calculate →Enter the total hours once, then enter the subset receiving the differential. For 40 total hours at $20, with 16 hours receiving $2 extra, straight-time earnings are $800 + $32 = $832. Premium hours are part of the 40 hours; adding them again would overstate the total.
For 44 total hours at $20, 20 premium hours at $2 extra, and 4 overtime hours, straight-time earnings are $920. The modeled weighted rate is $920 ÷ 44. The added overtime premium is half of that rate multiplied by 4, giving approximately $961.82 gross in total. This model is not a substitute for rules covering other compensation or special arrangements.
Ten percent of $20 is $2 extra per eligible hour. Twelve eligible hours add $24 in straight-time premium earnings. The percentage applies to the entered base rate.
No. A differential applies to eligible shift hours, while overtime is a separate calculation. The tool allows the same hour to qualify for both without counting it twice as time worked.
No. It estimates gross pay before taxes, benefits and other deductions. It also excludes bonuses and other pay components not entered in the model.
Not in this single-premium model. Enter only the subset of total hours receiving the premium. Overlapping premiums at different rates require a separate calculation.
