Overtime Pay Calculator (Gross, Net, Employer Cost)

Things to keep in mind:

• Overtime is limited to 270 hours a year and needs the employee’s consent (art. 41).
• The employee may take 1.5 hours (1.25 for extended hours) of time off per hour within 6 months instead of pay.
• Contracts may provide higher premiums; statutory rates are used.
• Court of Cassation practice may grant an extra 1.5 days’ wage for rest-day work even below 45 weekly hours; this is not computed.
• The “same gross since January” option assumes this month’s gross was paid every month since January. Otherwise enter the cumulative base from your payslip.
• Carrying earnings above the contribution ceiling over to the next two months and allocating multi-month payments to months are not modelled.
• With several employers, the minimum wage income tax exemption applies only at the highest-paying employer (Communiqué No. 319 art. 7); this is not modelled.
• Social security incentives other than the Treasury reduction (6111, 7103, 4447 prov. 10, disability, R&D/5746, 4691, young entrepreneur) and the minimum wage support are not included.
