What it does


In Chile overtime is paid with a 50% surcharge on the agreed salary (article 32 of the Labour Code). The hourly value is the monthly salary divided by 30, multiplied by 28 (the days of four weeks) and divided by the weekly hours. The legal week went down from 44 to 42 hours on 26 April 2026 and will be 40 hours from 26 April 2028 (Law 21,561), so the factor goes up.

How to use it


  1. Type your monthly salary.
  2. Type the weekly hours of your contract and the overtime hours of the month.
  3. Read the value of one overtime hour, the factor and the total.
