Overtime calculator Tanzania
Enter your basic wage for one hour and the overtime you worked to see what you should be paid.
If some overtime was at night, the calculator adds the night work premium.
How it's calculated
- Ordinary hours are at most 45 hours a week, six days a week and nine hours a day.
- Overtime is paid at not less than 1.5 times the basic wage.
- Night work (between 8 pm and 6 am) earns at least 5% of the wage for each hour; on overtime hours it is worked out on the overtime rate.
An example
At TSh 3,000 an hour, ten overtime hours pay TSh 45,000.
