The overtime calculator from TotallyMoney.com lets you work out exactly how much your overtime is worth each day. Simply input your annual salary (let’s say £27,000), how many hours you work (35 – the UK average). Say you arrive 20 minutes early and work half an hour over lunch each day. Add to that another 20 minutes at the end of the day to finish up. Based on these small overtime minutes each day you’ll be working an extra 283.3 hours extra each year. Based on a salary of £27K (the UK average), that represents £4,500 of lost income.
