Overtime and extra hours at €40.00
| Rate | Per hour | Per extra weekly hour, per year |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (1×) | €40.00 | €2,080 |
| Time and a half (1.5×) | €60.00 | €3,120 |
| Double time (2×) | €80.00 | €4,160 |
Extra hours are taxed at your marginal rate, not your average rate, so the take-home from overtime is lower than your usual hourly net, but overtime never pushes the tax on your existing pay higher.
