Most employees in New Brunswick become entitled to overtime after the standard weekly threshold of 44 hours, paid at 1.5×. Enter your hourly rate and hours worked to estimate gross overtime and what may remain after income tax, CPP, and EI.
New Brunswick requires overtime after 44 hours in a week. The statutory overtime floor is 1.5× the minimum wage ($15.90 as of 1 April 2026, so $23.85/hour). If your regular wage is already higher, the employer must still pay at least that regular wage for overtime hours unless a contract is more generous.
The tax estimate annualizes the pay period you enter and runs the New Brunswick payroll calculation twice — with overtime and without it. The difference is how much of the overtime this calculator thinks you keep. Employer withholding on one cheque can still differ.
The Employment Standards Act sets a minimum overtime rate of 1.5× minimum wage, not automatically 1.5× your regular wage. Contracts or policies can pay more. Collective agreements and employment contracts can also set a different (usually more generous) overtime premium.
The standard rule is after 44 hours in a work week. Some jobs are exempt or use averaging agreements.
The Employment Standards Act sets a minimum of 1.5× the minimum wage. Many contracts pay 1.5× the regular wage when that is higher. Use the optional checkbox if your contract pays the higher premium.
This calculator estimates that by comparing annual take-home pay with and without the overtime hours. The gap is the after-tax value, after income tax and payroll contributions.
