Singapore Overtime Pay Calculator (MOM Formula)
Work out overtime pay in Singapore with the MOM formula: 1.5 times the hourly basic rate, for non-workmen up to S$2,600 and workmen up to S$4,500.
For non-workmen the hourly rate is capped at S$13.60. Work on a rest day or public holiday is paid differently (one or two days' pay, or an extra day's pay). Overtime must be paid within 14 days after the salary period.
What it does
Under Part 4 of Singapore's Employment Act, non-workmen earning a basic salary of up to S$2,600 a month and workmen earning up to S$4,500 must get at least 1.5 times the hourly basic rate for work beyond the normal 44 hours a week. For a monthly-rated employee the hourly basic rate is 12 × the monthly basic salary ÷ (52 × 44). Allowances and bonuses are not part of the basic salary.
How to use it
