Overtime calculator, Canada
Estimate the overtime due in Canada: a 1.5x premium (+50%) beyond the weekly threshold of your jurisdiction: 40 h federally (Canada Labour Code, s. 174) and in Quebec (LNT art. 55), 44 h in Ontario (ESA s. 22).
How does this calculation work?
The statutory overtime premium is 1.5x the hourly rate (+50%). The weekly threshold depends on the jurisdiction: 40 h federally (s. 174) and in Quebec (art. 55), 44 h in Ontario (s. 22). Federal law also has a daily trigger (8 h/day). Select your jurisdiction in the calculator: the threshold (40 h or 44 h) adjusts accordingly.
What this calculator does not include
- The federal daily trigger (8 h/day).
- Your collective agreement or decree, often more favourable.
