How overtime pay works in Brazil

Overtime (hora extra) is any hour worked beyond the contract's hours. The Constitution (art. 7 XVI) and the CLT (art. 59 § 1) require it to be paid at least 50% above the normal hour. Work on a Sunday or holiday without a compensating day off is paid double (Lei 605/1949 art. 9; TST Súmula 146), which payroll calls overtime at 100%.

This calculator shows the hourly rate, overtime at 50% and 100%, the night premium with the reduced night hour, overtime at night, the reflex on the paid weekly rest (DSR) and the FGTS, 13th-salary and vacation accruals. Each figure carries its rule.

The calculation, step by step

  1. Hourly rate: monthly salary ÷ monthly divisor (CLT art. 64). A 44-hour week uses 220.
  2. Overtime: hours × hourly rate × 1.5 (50% premium) or × 2 (100%).
  3. Night premium: between 10 pm and 5 am each hour is worth 20% more and lasts 52 minutes 30 seconds (CLT art. 73). Multiply clock hours by 60 ÷ 52.5, then apply the 20%.
  4. Overtime at night: the overtime premium is applied to the hour already raised by the night premium (OJ 97 SDI-1; Súmula 60 II). Each paid hour is worth 1.2 × 1.5 = 1.8 times the normal hour.
  5. DSR: (overtime + night premium) ÷ working days in the month × Sundays and holidays (Lei 605/1949 art. 7; Súmula 172).

A collective agreement can set higher rates (60%, 70%, 100% on Saturdays). When it does, the agreement prevails.

Which divisor to use

Weekly hoursMonthly divisor
44 hours220
40 hours200
36 hours180
30 hours150

The divisor is weekly hours ÷ 6 × 30. The 200 for a 40-hour week comes from TST Súmula 431. Using 220 on a 40-hour contract underpays overtime by about 9%.

Worked example: R$ 3,300.00 salary and 10 overtime hours at 50%

  1. Hourly rate: 3,300.00 ÷ 220 = R$ 15.00.
  2. Overtime: 10 × 15.00 × 1.5 = R$ 225.00.
  3. DSR in a month with 25 working days and 5 Sundays and holidays: 225.00 ÷ 25 × 5 = R$ 45.00.
  4. Total for the month: R$ 270.00. FGTS at 8%: R$ 21.60. 13th-salary accrual: R$ 22.50. Vacation with the extra third: R$ 30.00.

Worked example: R$ 2,200.00 salary with daytime, Sunday and night overtime

Hourly rate R$ 10.00, month with 26 working days and 4 Sundays.

  1. 20 hours at 50%: 20 × 10.00 × 1.5 = R$ 300.00.
  2. 8 hours at 100%: 8 × 10.00 × 2 = R$ 160.00.
  3. 21 clock hours at night become 24 paid hours: 24 × 10.00 × 20% = R$ 48.00 of night premium.
  4. 7 clock hours of overtime at night become 8 paid hours: 8 × 10.00 × 1.2 × 1.5 = R$ 144.00.
  5. Sum: R$ 652.00. DSR: 652.00 ÷ 26 × 4 = R$ 100.31.
  6. Total for the month: R$ 752.31. FGTS: R$ 60.18. 13th-salary accrual: R$ 62.69. Vacation with the third: R$ 83.59.

Reflexes on FGTS, 13th salary and vacation

Habitual overtime and night premium are salary. FGTS of 8% is due each month on the overtime, the night premium and the DSR (Lei 8.036/1990 art. 15; Súmula 63). The 13th salary and vacation pay use the average number of hours in the period, paid at the salary in force when they fall due (Súmula 347).

Since 20 March 2023 the DSR raised by overtime also enters the 13th salary, vacation, notice and FGTS. The TST's full bench changed OJ 394 of the SDI-1 in Tema Repetitivo 9 (case 10169-57.2013.5.05.0024). Before that date the rule was the opposite. The calculator follows the new wording and shows the monthly accrual of one twelfth.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the monthly salary and check the divisor (220 is prefilled).
  2. Enter the month's overtime hours at 50% and at 100%. Fractions are fine: 1.5 is an hour and a half.
  3. Enter night hours and overtime hours at night as clock hours. The calculator applies the reduced hour.
  4. Adjust the working days (Saturdays count) and the Sundays and holidays of the month for the DSR.
  5. Read each item, the month's total and the reflexes. For take-home pay, carry the total to the 2026 net salary calculator.

Limitations

  • For urban employees on a fixed monthly salary. Rural workers have a 25% night premium, different night hours and no reduced hour (Lei 5.889/1973).
  • Commissions, bonuses and hazard or unhealthy-work premiums are part of the overtime base (Súmula 264). Add them to the salary before calculating.
  • An hours bank or compensation agreement changes what is paid as overtime (CLT art. 59 §§ 2, 5 and 6). The 12x36 shift has its own rule (art. 59-A).
  • When a full night shift runs past 5 am, the premium also covers the extension (Súmula 60 II). Enter those hours as night hours.
  • INSS and income tax apply to overtime, night premium and DSR. The amounts here are gross.

Sources and methodology

FAQs

How do I calculate overtime pay in Brazil?
Divide the monthly salary by the monthly divisor to get the hourly rate: 220 for a 44-hour week, 200 for a 40-hour week. Multiply the overtime hours by that rate and by 1.5 for the 50% premium, the minimum set by art. 7 XVI of the Constitution and art. 59 § 1 of the CLT. With a salary of R$ 3,300 the hour is R$ 15.00, so 10 overtime hours pay R$ 225.00, plus the paid-rest reflex.
When is overtime paid at 100%?
Work on a Sunday or a holiday that is not compensated with another day off is paid double, under Lei 605/1949 art. 9 and TST Súmula 146. In practice that is an hour with a 100% premium. Many collective agreements also set 100%, or rates such as 60% or 70%, for other situations, so check the agreement for your category.
How does the night premium work?
Urban employees who work between 10 pm and 5 am earn at least 20% more per hour (CLT art. 73). On top of that, each night hour counts as 52 minutes and 30 seconds, so 7 clock hours are paid as 8. The calculator takes the clock hours you worked at night, converts them to paid hours and applies the 20%.
How is overtime at night calculated?
The night premium comes first and the overtime premium is applied on top of it. That is the rule in OJ 97 of the TST's SDI-1, restated in Súmula 60 II: the night premium is part of the base for overtime worked at night. One paid hour is worth the hourly rate × 1.2 × 1.5, and the reduced night hour still applies, so one clock hour on a R$ 15.00 rate pays R$ 30.86.
What is the DSR on overtime and how is it calculated?
DSR is the paid weekly rest. Habitual overtime and night premium raise it, under Lei 605/1949 art. 7 and TST Súmulas 172 and 60 I. Payroll divides the month's overtime and night premium by the number of working days, Saturdays included, and multiplies by the Sundays and holidays of that month. With R$ 225.00 of overtime, 25 working days and 5 rest days, the DSR is R$ 45.00.
Does overtime count toward FGTS, the 13th salary and vacation?
Yes, when it is habitual. FGTS of 8% is due on the overtime, the night premium and the DSR each month (Lei 8.036/1990 art. 15; Súmula 63). The 13th salary and vacation pay with the extra third use the average of the hours worked in the period (Súmula 347). The calculator shows the monthly accrual, one twelfth of the month's total, as a guide.
What changed with OJ 394 in 2023?
Until March 2023 the DSR raised by overtime did not flow into the 13th salary, vacation, notice or FGTS. The TST's full bench changed OJ 394 of the SDI-1 in case IncJulgRREmbRep 10169-57.2013.5.05.0024 (Tema Repetitivo 9): for overtime worked from 20 March 2023 the raised DSR does enter those calculations. This calculator follows the new wording.
Which divisor should I use: 220, 200 or 180?
Use the monthly hours of your contract. A 44-hour week gives 220, a 40-hour week gives 200 (TST Súmula 431), a 36-hour week gives 180, and a 30-hour week gives 150. The divisor is the weekly hours ÷ 6 × 30. A smaller divisor means a higher hourly rate, so using 220 for a 40-hour contract underpays overtime by about 9%.
