FREE Egypt Overtime Calculator

An overtime calculator is a tool that helps workers and employers in Egypt figure out how much extra pay is owed when work hours exceed the regular schedule. It automatically computes overtime pay based on your base pay, working hours, overtime hours, and the overtime compensation rates mandated by law.

Using an overtime calculator can help:

• Ensure overtime pay matches legal rates.
• Keep employers and employees aligned with labour-law limits.
• Avoid manual calculation errors across all overtime types.
• Maintain transparent records for fair payroll.

1. Enter your pay rate — Specify how you are paid, whether hourly, daily, or monthly. This tells the calculator the base rate to use when computing both your regular and overtime pay.
   
2. Enter your regular working hours — Input the standard number of hours you work each day and week (for example, 8 hours per day and 48 hours per week). This sets the baseline so the calculator knows which hours count as overtime.
   
3. Enter the number of overtime hours worked — Add the extra hours you worked beyond your standard schedule. Make sure to include only hours that qualify as overtime under Egyptian labour law.
   
4. Choose the overtime type — Select whether the overtime was worked during a regular day, at night, on a weekend, or on a public holiday. Different overtime types can have different pay rates according to the law, so choosing the correct category ensures accurate calculations.
5. Click “Calculate Total Overtime Pay” — The calculator will instantly show your total overtime pay, added to your regular wages, helping you avoid errors and stay compliant with Egypt overtime rules.

Under Egyptian labour law, overtime pay rates depend on when the overtime is worked:

• Daytime overtime: At least 135% of the standard hourly wage (base pay + 35%).

• Night overtime: At least 170% of the standard hourly wage.

• Weekend or rest-day overtime: Overtime work on rest days must be compensated with at least 200% the standard wage (double pay).

• Public holiday overtime: Also compensated at a minimum of 200% the standard wage.

Yes. Standard working hours in Egypt are 8 hours per day and 48 hours per week, with a one-hour break. Overtime is generally limited to 12 hours per week. Certain roles, like industrial, security, cleaning, and intermittent work, may have slightly different limits.

Employers are encouraged to maintain accurate records of all overtime worked, including dates, hours, and pay. Proper documentation ensures compliance with Egyptian labour law and helps resolve any payroll disputes.
