What overtime means in Brazil

Hora extra is any hour worked beyond the contracted workday (CLT default: 8h/day, 44h/week, 220h/month). The Federal Constitution (art. 7º, XVI) sets a minimum 50% premium over the regular hourly rate, and 100% for Sundays and holidays worked without compensatory rest.

Habitual overtime also entitles the worker to a proportional DSR (paid weekly rest), per TST Precedent 172 — the overtime is divided by working days and multiplied by paid rest days in the month.

How to use

You need the salary and contracted monthly hours. Overtime numbers come from the timesheet.

Enter the salary and the contracted monthly hours (220 is the CLT default).
Enter the count of 50% overtime hours (weekday excess) and 100% overtime (Sundays/holidays).
If you had night-shift hours (10pm–5am), enter them — a 20% premium applies on the regular hourly rate.
Keep DSR turned on to reflect the weekly rest reflex (mandatory when overtime is habitual).

How the calculation works

Hourly rate = salary / monthly hours. 50% overtime = 1.5×; 100% = 2×. The night-shift premium is 20% of the regular hourly rate applied to night-shift hours. The DSR uses a practical 5/25 ratio (typical paid rest days vs working days).

Hourly = salary / monthly hours ; OT50 = 1.5 × hourly ; OT100 = 2 × hourly

If you have habitual commissions, bonuses or other variable pay, the hourly base should include them. This calculator only takes the fixed salary — sum any habitual variable pay into it before entering.

Premiums established by law

Quick reference for the main hourly bonuses:

Type	Premium	When it applies
50% overtime	50%	Hours beyond workday on weekdays
100% overtime	100%	Sundays, holidays, uncompensated rest days
Night-shift premium	20%	Work between 10pm and 5am (urban)
DSR on overtime	—	Paid-weekly-rest reflex (TST Precedent 172)

Collective bargaining agreements may set premiums above the legal minimum.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know whether 50% or 100% applies?

50% applies on weekdays beyond the contracted workday. 100% applies on Sundays and holidays without compensatory rest, and in some agreements for hours past the 2nd overtime hour. Always check the CBA — some sectors have higher minimums.

What is DSR and why does it appear?

DSR is the paid weekly rest day. When overtime is habitual, the rest day must be recomputed on a higher base — otherwise the worker would rest on a remuneration smaller than the actual one. TST Precedent 172 codifies this.

Is the night-shift hour shorter?

Yes. For urban workers, the night-shift hour (10pm–5am) is 52 minutes 30 seconds instead of 60. Seven clock hours = 8 paid hours. This calculator doesn't apply the reduction automatically — adjust your input if needed.

Does a time bank replace overtime pay?

It can, with a written individual or collective agreement. Overtime becomes equivalent time off (1h overtime = 1h off), with a max of 6 months (individual) or 1 year (collective). Unused balance must be paid as overtime.

Do trust positions get overtime?

As a rule, no (CLT art. 62). But the role must be real — directors and managers with mandate and management powers. If the function is technical and the worker clocks in/out, overtime is owed regardless of title.

How do I prove overtime if the company doesn't pay?

Time cards, after-hours emails, corporate chat messages, system access logs, witnesses. Brazil's labor courts accept a wide range of evidence and sometimes shift the burden of proof onto the employer (who must produce the time records). Talk to a union rep or labor lawyer once delays become habitual.
