Overtime pay
Overtime pay calculator
Do you have a time sheet showing overtime hours and an established gross hourly rate? Enter both figures to get an arithmetic reference for checking your pay statement. If you work in Kyiv or Kyiv region, first check the working-time recording system: not every longer shift is overtime.
Preliminary payment for confirmed overtime
Enter the ready hourly rate before taxes and only those hours that are actually overtime after checking the schedule and accounting period.
Use the employment contract, pay scale, or verified payroll calculation. A monthly salary does not automatically become an hourly rate.
You can enter a fraction of an hour to 0.01 precision. Under summarized working-time accounting, use the excess over the norm for the entire reference period.

Before demanding additional pay: Make sure the hours qualify as overtime and the correct rate is entered. The result is gross pay for those hours, not automatically an employer debt; check any pay already accrued separately.
The brief summary is easy to paste into a message to a lawyer or save for yourself.
How the double rate under Article 106 of the Labour Code applies
Under an hourly pay system, overtime is paid at twice the hourly rate. Before multiplying, determine which timesheet hours qualify as overtime under Article 62 of the Labour Code.
With summarized working-time accounting, overtime means hours exceeding the established norm for the entire reference period. A long individual shift may be part of the approved schedule and does not, by itself, prove an excess.
During martial law, Article 6 of Law No. 2136-IX changes certain working-time rules and disapplies the restriction in part one of Article 65 of the Labour Code. It does not repeal double pay under Article 106.
Calculation methodology
Preliminary calculation methodology
- We confirm hourly pay and the ready-to-use gross hourly rate based on the documents.
- We identify overtime hours only; under summarized time tracking, we do this for the entire accounting period.
- Multiply the rate by the hours and by two without intermediate rounding.
- We round displayed monetary amounts to the nearest kopeck; the single portion and difference are shown separately.
- We compare the result with the payslip without automatically calling the entire amount a debt.
Example at an hourly rate
An employee at a warehouse in Kyiv Oblast has a confirmed gross hourly rate of UAH 150.25. After checking the timesheets for the relevant period, 8.5 overtime hours were confirmed.
- Hourly rate: UAH 150.25
- Overtime hours: 8.5
150.25 × 8.5 × 2 = UAH 2,554.25 gross for overtime hours. The displayed average daily amount is rounded for readability only.
This is not an amount payable on top of what has already accrued: compare the payslip and payments with the result separately.
Documents for review
- Employment agreement, order, or pay-scale documents stating the hourly rate and pay system.

Frequently asked questions
Is all work after the end of a shift overtime?
No. Check the established schedule, time sheet, and timekeeping system. Under cumulative timekeeping, excess hours are determined by comparing them with the standard for the entire reference period.
Can I enter my monthly salary in this field?
No. The formula uses an hourly rate. A salary calculation requires a confirmed working-time standard and a correct accounting calculation of the hourly value.
Did martial law eliminate double pay?
No. Law No. 2136-IX changes certain working-time organization rules and the effect of part one of Article 65 of the Labour Code, but it does not repeal Article 106 on overtime pay.
Is the calculator suitable for piece-rate pay?
No. For piece-rate work, Article 106 provides for a different supplement mechanism; the rate for an employee of the relevant qualification is required.
Is this the amount the employer owes in addition to what has already been paid?
Not necessarily. The result shows gross pay for the overtime hours entered. To determine any amount still due, compare it with accruals and payments for those same hours.
