--- title: "India work hours calculator with overtime at 2x | AumnI tools" description: "Add up weekly hours from clock times and breaks against 8 hours a day and 48 a week, with overtime at double the normal rate under the labour codes, paid in rupees." url: https://aumnitools.com/in/tool/work-hours-calculator category: "Lifestyle" country: "India" updated: 2026-11-08 --- # Work Hours Calculator Under India's labour codes, normal hours are capped at 8 a day and 48 a week, and work beyond that is paid at twice the normal rate. This calculator totals a week from your start, finish and break times, finds the overtime above both limits, and prices it at 2 times your hourly rate in rupees. ## India rules and figures - The four labour codes, including the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, came into force on 21 November 2025. - The OSH Code caps normal hours at 8 a day and 48 a week, and overtime needs the worker's consent. - Work beyond 8 hours a day or 48 hours a week is paid at twice the normal rate. - The Ministry pre-published the rules under the codes on 30 December 2025, so details may still change.

The rule opens as a daily or weekly test at 8 and 48 hours, with the multiplier set to 2. Formula: `net minutes = (out − in, +24 h if out < in) − break; pay = regular × rate + overtime × rate × 2` - The default rule is Over 8 a day or 48 a week at a multiplier of 2. Where both tests apply, the larger overtime total is used. - The target for the week opens at 48 hours, the OSH Code's weekly cap, and the plus or minus figure compares your total with it. - Rows start filled for weekdays only, 09:00 until 17:30 with 30 minutes unpaid, which totals 40 hours and sits under the weekly cap. - Overtime needs the worker's consent under the OSH Code. The tool cannot record consent, so it prices any hours you enter. - State rules and sector exemptions are not included. The currency symbol opens as ₹ and the timesheet is saved in your browser. ## How to use the Work Hours Calculator 1. **Enter the days worked.** Give each day a start, a finish and an unpaid break in minutes. 2. **Set the hourly rate in rupees.** Type your hourly rate on the pay tab. The overtime rule and the multiplier of 2 are already in place. 3. **Review the thresholds.** Change the daily or weekly hours if your state or sector sets different limits. 4. **Compare with 48 hours.** Read the figure beside the target to see how far the week is from the weekly cap. 5. **Check a single shift.** Use the shift tab for one shift with its own times and break. ## Example: Overtime on 45 hours at ₹300 an hour Five days of 09:00 to 18:30 with a half-hour break come to 9 hours a day, 45 for the week, which is 3 short of the 48-hour weekly cap. The daily test still bites: every day has 1 hour beyond 8, so 5 hours count as overtime. Pay is ₹12,000.00 for 40 regular hours at ₹300 plus ₹3,000.00 for 5 overtime hours at ₹600, a gross of ₹15,000.00. A weekly test alone would find no overtime, because 45 is below 48. ## When to use the Work Hours Calculator - **Checking overtime on a salary slip.** Enter the week and see how many hours land above 8 a day. - **Seeing the weekly cap.** Compare the total with 48 hours to know how much room is left. - **Night shifts.** Type real clock times and the tool counts the shift past midnight. - **Weighing extra work.** Add the hours to a day and see the double-rate pay. ## What the Work Hours Calculator does not do - Pay is gross, before tax, provident fund and other deductions. - State rules and sector exemptions are not included. - The rules under the labour codes were only pre-published, and details may change. - Consent for overtime, rest intervals and spread-over limits are not checked. - Hours on the shift tab are paid at the base rate with no overtime added. - The CSV export is the only way to take the timesheet out of this browser. ## When something else is a better fit - **When you need take-home pay after tax and deductions**, use the [Payroll Calculator](https://aumnitools.com/tool/payroll-calculator.md). - **When you just want a total of several durations**, use the [Time Duration Calculator](https://aumnitools.com/tool/time-duration-calculator.md). - **When your state or contract sets its own limits**, use the notice from your state labour department. ## Questions about the Work Hours Calculator ### What rate applies to overtime in India? Twice the normal rate, for work beyond 8 hours a day or 48 a week under the labour codes. The tool starts with a multiplier of 2. ### Why is there overtime in a 45-hour week? Because the daily test applies too. Five 9-hour days each have 1 hour past 8, so 5 hours are overtime even though 45 is under 48. ### Does overtime need consent? Yes, the OSH Code requires the worker's consent. The tool cannot check it and prices whatever hours you enter. ### Are the rules final? The codes came into force on 21 November 2025, but the Ministry only pre-published the rules on 30 December 2025, so details may still change. ### Is my timesheet uploaded? No. It is saved in this browser and reloaded on your next visit. ## Related tools - [Payroll Calculator](https://aumnitools.com/tool/payroll-calculator.md): Estimates US net pay per paycheck and employer cost from salary or hourly pay for 2026 - [Time Duration Calculator](https://aumnitools.com/tool/time-duration-calculator.md): Gaps between dates and times, working days, date shifts and hh:mm duration totals - [Budget Planner](https://aumnitools.com/tool/budget-planner.md): Plans monthly income and expenses by category, with a health score and debt payoff ## About this page Runs in your browser: what you enter is processed on this device and is not uploaded.
