How to estimate shift differential pay

Start with regular hours × base hourly rate. Add overtime hours × base rate × the overtime multiplier. Then add premium hours × the extra shift differential paid per premium hour. The result is an estimated weekly gross amount before taxes, deductions, benefits and employer-specific payroll rules.

If your employer pays a percentage differential instead of a fixed amount per hour, convert that percentage into an hourly premium before using this calculator.
