Overtime Pay Calculator (BR CLT)
Compute overtime (50% normal, 100% Sun/holiday, 20% night). Standard Brazilian CLT for monthly employees.
How overtime (horas extras) is calculated in Brazil
Article 7º, XVI of the Federal Constitution and the CLT set a minimum overtime premium of 50% on regular weekdays, and Lei 605/49 combined with CLT art. 67 raises it to 100% on Sundays and public holidays. The formula is overtime_pay = (salary ÷ monthly_hours) × extra_hours × (1 + premium). The standard 44-hour week yields a 220-hour monthly divisor.
Example: salary R$ 3,000, divisor 220, 10 hours at 50% and 2 hours at 100%. Hourly rate = 3000/220 = R$ 13.64. Result: 10 × 13.64 × 1.5 = R$ 204.55 + 2 × 13.64 × 2.0 = R$ 54.55, total R$ 259.10 added to gross pay (which then feeds DSR, vacation, 13th and FGTS).
Where this calculation is used
Brazilian payroll systems (Senior, Totvs Protheus, Domínio) apply this formula every cycle. It is also central to termination homologations, labor lawsuits before the TST, and HR audits. The night premium of at least 20% (CLT art. 73) for work between 22:00 and 05:00 stacks on top when applicable. The legal cap is 2 overtime hours per day (art. 59).
FAQ
Can overtime be paid as time off instead? Yes — the banco de horas reform of 2017 allows compensation within 6 months by individual agreement (or 1 year by collective agreement). Unused balance is paid in cash with the premium on termination.
Who is exempt from overtime rules? Directors without subordination, external workers without time control (CLT art. 62, II) and the hipersuficiente employee earning above twice the INSS ceiling with a written individual agreement.
What is a weekly compensation agreement? Extra hours worked Monday-Friday up to 44h/week without premium, in exchange for a free Saturday — common in industry and retail.
Do overtime hours affect FGTS and 13th? Yes — the yearly average is incorporated into the base for FGTS (8%), 13th salary and vacation pay (with the constitutional 1/3 bonus).

Injection Cycle Time
Compute the total cycle time of a plastic injection by adding the injection time (fill + pack), the cooling time and the mold open/eject time. Cooling is usually the largest share (50–80% of the cycle). The cycle time directly determines productivity: parts/hour = 3600/cycle × cavities. Reducing it is the constant focus of optimization. Enter the injection, cooling and opening times.
Peak Flow Rate (PHF)
Calculate the peak flow rate of a roadway, q = V ÷ PHF, dividing the hourly volume V (vehicles/h) by the peak hour factor PHF (between 0 and 1, the ratio of the hour's volume to four times the busiest 15-minute volume). The result, in vehicles/h, is the equivalent flow rate of the busiest 15-minute period — always greater than or equal to the hourly volume, since traffic does not arrive uniformly. It is the design flow used in capacity and level-of-service analysis by the HCM, since sizing by the hourly average would underestimate the peaks. Enter the hourly volume and the peak hour factor.
