OraChoose the rate in your agreement
A full-rate multiplier describes the entire hourly rate for work on the day. A 2× multiplier means one base rate plus one additional base rate. Alternatively, enter a fixed extra amount per worked hour. The tool applies only one method at a time.
Worked example
Assume four hours worked at €15 per hour and an agreed 2× full rate. Base pay is 4 × €15 = €60 and the additional premium is €60, for €120 gross. If a different agreement pays an extra €5 per hour, the same four hours add €20 to the €60 base, for €80 gross. These are examples, not statements of entitlement.
If another premium may overlap the holiday hours, compare the overtime base-and-premium example and the chosen weekend-rate examples. These explain arithmetic; your agreement and applicable rules determine entitlement and whether premiums combine.
Worked hours and paid leave are different
If you are separately paid for holiday hours you did not work, enter those hours in the separate field. The tool values them at the entered base rate and adds them once. Do not enter the same hours as both worked time and separately paid leave. Eligibility, pay basis and public holidays vary by location and agreement.
Questions about holiday premiums
Is holiday pay always double?
No universal multiplier is assumed. Use the rule in the applicable agreement or ask payroll.
Does this determine whether I am paid when I do not work?
No. Separately paid hours are an optional amount you enter; the tool does not establish entitlement.
Can holiday and overtime premiums stack?
That depends on the applicable rules. This tool does not stack overtime or other premiums.
Components are rounded to the smallest currency unit. Actual payroll may use different rules or rounding.
Results are estimates before tax. Rules and actual pay vary with your contract, location, payroll and deductions. About these estimates.
