Quick answer: In the Philippines, overtime (work beyond 8 hours) on an ordinary day is paid at 125% of your hourly rate — your rate plus 25%. The premium rises to 169% on a rest day or special non-working day and 260% on a regular holiday. Work between 10 PM and 6 AM earns an extra 10% night differential. Compute your overtime pay →
Overtime pay rates table (DOLE 2026)
| When you work overtime | Overtime hourly rate |
|---|---|
| Ordinary day | hourly rate × 1.25 |
| Rest day or special non-working day | hourly rate × 1.69 |
| Special day falling on a rest day | hourly rate × 1.95 |
| Regular holiday | hourly rate × 2.60 |
| Regular holiday on a rest day | hourly rate × 3.38 |
| Night shift (10 PM–6 AM) | additional +10% on top |
These multipliers come from the DOLE Handbook on Workers’ Statutory Monetary Benefits. They already combine the day’s premium with the 30% overtime premium (for example, a rest day is 130% for the first 8 hours, and 130% × 130% = 169% for each overtime hour).
The formula
Overtime pay = Hourly rate × Overtime multiplier × Overtime hoursYour hourly rate is your daily wage ÷ 8. If you are monthly-paid, divide your monthly basic salary by your working days per month, then by 8. Not sure of yours? The calculator derives it from your monthly salary.
Worked examples
Ordinary day
Hourly rate ₱100, 2 hours OT:
₱100 × 1.25 × 2 = ₱250Rest day
Hourly rate ₱100, 2 hours OT on a rest day:
₱100 × 1.69 × 2 = ₱338Regular holiday
Hourly rate ₱100, 2 hours OT on a regular holiday:
₱100 × 2.60 × 2 = ₱520With night differential
For overtime hours worked between 10 PM and 6 AM, add 10% of the overtime hourly rate. The calculator lets you enter how many of your overtime hours fall in the night window.
Maximum overtime hours
The Labor Code does not set a hard daily cap on overtime for most private-sector workers, but overtime generally must be voluntary and is always paid at the premium rates above. Night workers, minors and certain industries have specific limits — confirm with DOLE.
