Understanding Overtime Pay

How do penalty rates work?

Under most modern awards, overtime is paid at penalty rates: time-and-a-half (1.5x) for the first 2-3 hours of overtime on a weekday, double time (2x) thereafter or on Saturdays/Sundays, and double-time-and-a-half (2.5x) on public holidays. Exact rates depend on your specific award or enterprise agreement.

How is tax calculated on overtime?

Overtime is taxed as part of your regular income -- there is no special "overtime tax rate". However, because overtime increases your total annual income, it may push you into a higher tax bracket, meaning the extra earnings are taxed at your marginal rate.

Does overtime count for super?

From 1 January 2020, the ATO clarified that overtime earnings generally do not form part of "ordinary time earnings" (OTE) for super guarantee purposes. However, some enterprise agreements may include overtime in the super calculation base.

ATO-Aligned: Penalty rates vary by award, enterprise agreement, and employment type (casual, part-time, full-time). Check the Fair Work Ombudsman or your specific award for exact rates.
