How to Calculate Overtime Pay in Australia

Overtime pay in Australia is governed by the Fair Work Act 2009 and calculated based on your Modern Award or Enterprise Agreement. The most common formula applies a multiplier to your base hourly rate for hours worked beyond your ordinary hours.

Worked Example — Monday to Saturday Overtime

Base hourly rate: $30.00 | Overtime worked: 4 hours

First 2 hours @ 150%: 2 × $30.00 × 1.5 = $90.00

Next 2 hours @ 200%: 2 × $30.00 × 2.0 = $120.00

Total overtime pay: $210.00 | Super (12%): $25.20

Worked Example — Public Holiday

Base hourly rate: $25.05 | Hours on public holiday: 6 hours

All hours @ 250%: 6 × $25.05 × 2.5 = $375.75

Super (12%): $45.09 | Total cost to employer: $420.84

Under the Fair Work Amendment (Protecting Penalty and Overtime Rates) Act 2025, which received Royal Assent on 30 August 2025, penalty and overtime rates in modern awards cannot be reduced by the Fair Work Commission. These rates are now permanent, protected entitlements for all award-covered workers.

The national minimum wage from 1 July 2025 is $25.05 per hour. The award minimum is $24.10/hr. Most employees are covered by an award that specifies higher base rates than the national minimum. Always verify your specific award rate via the Fair Work Ombudsman's Pay and Conditions Tool (PACT).

This calculator provides general estimates only and does not constitute legal, financial, or payroll advice. Overtime rates vary by Modern Award, enterprise agreement, and employment type. Always verify with the Fair Work Ombudsman or a registered workplace advisor. Minimum wage reflects rates effective 1 July 2025.
