About this calculator
New Zealand has no statutory overtime — any premium over your regular rate is set in your employment agreement. Common patterns: time-and-a-half over 40h, double-time on Sundays or public holidays.
- Public holidays worked: minimum time-and-a-half plus an alternative day (Holidays Act 2003).
- Penalty rates outside public holidays are entirely contractual.
Frequently asked questions
Is my employer required to pay overtime?
Only if your contract or collective agreement says so. If not, work above your contracted hours is paid at your normal rate (subject to the minimum-wage check).
