The calculator applies the statutory default: the first two overtime hours at 125% and the rest at 150%, and on Shabbat and holidays 150% from the first hour with overtime at 175% and 200%. Under a collective agreement, an extension order or a personal contract the rates and the quota may differ. The result is an estimate and is not legal advice.

Calculating overtime under the Hours of Work and Rest Law
When an hour counts as overtime
An overtime hour is any working hour beyond the employee's daily quota. The quota follows from the job percentage and the structure of the work week: in a six-day week the daily quota is 8 hours, and in a five-day week it is about 8 hours and 36 minutes, so in both cases the full work week comes to 42 hours.
The rates
The first two overtime hours each day are paid at 125% of the regular wage, and every overtime hour after them at 150%. The calculation is daily — an employee who worked 11 hours one day and 5 the next is entitled to overtime for the long day, even if the weekly total is low.
Shabbat and holidays
Work on the weekly rest day or on a holiday is paid at 150% from the very first hour, not only beyond the quota. Overtime on the same day builds on top of that rate: the first two hours at 175% and the rest at 200%.
Breaks
On a workday of six hours or more the employee is entitled to a break of at least 45 minutes, and it is usually not counted as paid working time. That is why an employee who was at the workplace for ten hours may be paid for nine and a half. We cover this in more detail in the guide Deducting breaks from working hours.
The weekly threshold
Beyond the daily calculation there is also a weekly threshold, usually 42 hours. Regular hours accumulated above it count as overtime even if no single day exceeded the quota. The calculator on this page handles the daily part; the weekly calculation needs all the days of the week together, and that is exactly what the system does automatically.
Questions about calculating overtime
How is overtime calculated in Israel?
Every hour beyond the daily quota is an overtime hour. The first two are paid at 125%, and every hour after them at 150%.
How much is overtime on Shabbat paid?
Work on Shabbat or a holiday is paid at 150% from the first hour. Overtime on the same day is paid at 175% and then at 200%.
Is a break deducted from working hours?
Usually yes, on a day of six hours or more. In some workplaces the break is paid under a collective agreement or a personal contract.
What is the difference between daily and weekly calculation?
Daily overtime counts beyond that day's quota, weekly overtime beyond 42 hours a week. Both can apply, which is why manual calculations easily miss hours.
