Shift differential calculator

Estimate gross weekly pay when night, weekend, and overtime premiums overlap.

Base hourly rate

Total hours worked

Overtime hours

Night-shift hours

Night differential per hour

Weekend hours

Weekend differential per hour

Include differentials in the overtime regular rate (common for nondiscretionary shift premiums)

Enter total hours including overtime. Night and weekend hours may overlap; each applicable differential is added once.

How the math works

All hours receive straight-time base pay. Applicable differentials are added. Overtime adds a half-time premium because straight time is already included.

Check your policy

Union agreements, state law, hospital policy, and alternative overtime systems can change the result. Compare this estimate with your wage statement.
