St Lucia Overtime Calculator

Have multiple employees?

Upload your employee spreadsheet and prepare payroll for everyone. Review the deductions and approve before finalization.

How overtime earnings work

Hourly rate × overtime hours × your applicable multiplier gives overtime gross pay. The multiplier is entered by you; the calculator does not decide legal entitlement.

Worked example

EC$25 per hour × 8 overtime hours × an entered multiplier of 1.5 gives EC$300 in overtime earnings. A multiplier of 1.5 is an example, not a statement of the law for every employee.

Check the applicable employment terms

Confirm the employment contract, occupation, working-day category, rest-day/public-holiday rules and current labour guidance in Saint Lucia. Overtime earnings may also be taxable and insurable.

Employer considerations

NIC estimates use the published 5% employee and employer rates with the EC$5,000 monthly ceiling. PAYE requires an employee-specific revised tax code following the 2026 amendments; current PAYE verification is incomplete. Employer contributions are paid in addition to gross earnings; they are not deducted from an employee’s net pay.

From one employee to an entire payroll

Import your employee spreadsheet into Sheetpay Accountant, review the payroll and approve it before finalization. Keep NIC identifiers and employee tax details with each record.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tool free?

Yes. You can calculate immediately without signing in.

Does this replace an employee tax code?

No. Confirm the employee’s eligibility, tax code, reliefs and contribution category with the relevant Saint Lucia authority before finalizing payroll.

Can I calculate payroll for multiple employees?

The employer-cost tool estimates identical salaries. For a mixed team, import employees into Sheetpay Accountant, review the prepared payroll and approve it before finalization.
