About UAE Overtime Calculation

The UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree Law 33 of 2021) regulates overtime pay for employees working beyond their normal working hours. This calculator helps you determine your overtime compensation based on the official rates:

  • Regular Overtime: 125% of your normal hourly rate for additional hours on regular workdays
  • Night Overtime: 150% of your normal hourly rate for hours worked between 10 PM and 4 AM
  • Weekly Rest Day: 150% of your normal hourly rate for work on your designated weekly rest day
  • Public Holidays: 150% of your normal hourly rate for work during official UAE public holidays

Overtime is calculated based on your basic salary only (excluding allowances and other benefits).
