How overtime pay is calculated in 2026
Overtime is the work performed beyond the standard monthly norm. Starting from the base salary and the hours worked, the calculator determines the gross and net pay including the overtime bonus, according to the 2026 legislation.
Hourly rate
The base salary divided by the working norm (hours), giving the value of one regular hour of work.
Working norm
The standard number of working hours in the month, against which the hours actually worked are compared.
Overtime hours
The hours worked above the norm, paid at the hourly rate increased by the bonus percentage you set.
Overtime bonus (spor)
Per the Labour Code, overtime is compensated with paid time off or a bonus of at least 75% of the base salary for the hours worked.
Taxes – CAS, CASS, income tax
The whole gross amount (base plus overtime) is subject to CAS 25%, CASS 10% and the 10% income tax, like a regular salary.
Labour insurance – CAM 2.25%
A contribution paid by the employer, on top of the gross salary, so you can also see the total employment cost.
Contribution rates in 2026
| Contribution | Rate | Paid by |
|---|---|---|
| CAS (social security) | 25% | Employee |
| CASS (health) | 10% | Employee |
| Income tax | 10% | Employee |
| CAM (labour) | 2.25% | Employer |
