How the calculation works

An overtime hour is worth the regular rate plus a premium. In Brazil (CLT), the minimum is 50% on weekdays and 100% on Sundays and holidays; "time and a half" (1.5×) and "double time" (2×) are the common equivalents.

OT rate = regular hourly rate × (1 + premium%)

total = OT rate × overtime hours

Finding your regular hourly rate

Divide monthly salary by monthly hours. For a 44h week, Brazil uses 220 hours/month:

hourly rate = salary ÷ 220

Step-by-step example (rate R$20, 10 hours at 50%)

  1. OT rate: 20 × 1.50 = R$30
  2. Total: 30 × 10 = R$300

Effect on other pay

Habitual overtime feeds into vacation, 13th, FGTS and notice (via averages) — so it raises those amounts over time too.

Examples

  • Salary R$4,400 → hourly = 4,400 ÷ 220 = R$20. 10 hours at 50% = R$300.
  • 8 holiday hours at 100%, rate R$25: 25 × 2 × 8 = R$400.

Frequently asked questions

What is the premium based on?

On your regular hourly rate. The minimum in Brazil is 50% on weekdays and 100% on Sundays and holidays.

How do I find my hourly rate?

Divide your monthly salary by the monthly hours — 220 for a 44h week in Brazil.

What is the night-shift premium?

An extra of at least 20% for hours worked between 10pm and 5am (urban workers), on top of any overtime premium.

Does a time bank replace overtime pay?

It can replace payment with equivalent time off, if agreed. Without a valid agreement, overtime must be paid with the premium.
