This calculation answers how much extra pay is due when work in Portugal exceeds the normal working period or is performed under an overtime category. Portugal's Labour Code sets the normal working period at no more than 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week, subject to specific averaging and collective-agreement regimes.
The result depends on four inputs: the worker's monthly remuneration, normal weekly hours, the number of overtime hours, and whether the hours fall on a working day, weekly rest day, or public holiday. The annual overtime total also matters because the premium changes after 100 annual overtime hours.
Portugal's Labour Code calculates hourly pay as `(monthly pay × 12) ÷ (52 × weekly hours)`. For a worker on a 40-hour normal week, annual monthly pay is spread across 52 weeks and 40 weekly hours. This gives the base hourly rate before overtime premiums are applied.
For example, assume the statutory formula gives a €16.00 hourly rate and the worker records 44 total hours in a week, with 4 overtime hours on normal working days within the first 100 annual overtime hours. Regular pay is 40 × €16.00 = €640.00. The first overtime hour is €20.00, and the next 3 overtime hours are €66.00, for €726.00 total gross pay.
For the first 100 annual overtime hours on a working day, Portugal pays 125% for the first hour or fraction and 137.5% for each later hour or fraction. For the first 100 annual overtime hours on a weekly rest day or public holiday, each overtime hour or fraction is paid at 150%.
Once annual overtime exceeds 100 hours, the working-day rates rise to 150% for the first hour or fraction and 175% for each later hour or fraction. Double time applies only after the worker has exceeded 100 annual overtime hours and the overtime is performed on a weekly rest day or public holiday.
A one-off calculation is enough when you have a clean timesheet, a known monthly pay amount, and a clear day type for each overtime block. It also works for checking a payslip, estimating the cost of an approved extra shift, or separating regular pay from overtime pay before payroll review.
A managed workflow is better when overtime repeats across projects, clients, or approval steps. Portugal also has annual overtime caps of 150, 175, or 200 hours depending on company size and collective labour regulation instruments. Everhour Billing & Invoicing can turn approved billable time and expenses into invoices while excluding non-billable work from client totals.

Portugal's normal working period is no more than 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week under the Labour Code, subject to specific averaging and collective-agreement regimes. Overtime calculations start when work falls outside the applicable normal schedule or into another overtime category, such as weekly rest day or public holiday work.
Use `(monthly pay × 12) ÷ (52 × weekly hours)`. If the worker earns €1,560 per month and has a 40-hour normal week, the hourly rate is `(1,560 × 12) ÷ (52 × 40)`, which equals €9.00. Apply the overtime premium to that hourly rate.
Double time applies only after the worker has exceeded 100 annual overtime hours and the overtime is performed on a weekly rest day or public holiday. Before that annual threshold, overtime on a weekly rest day or public holiday is paid at 150%, not 200%.
The common mistake is treating every overtime hour at one flat premium. Portugal separates the first hour from later hours on working days, separates working days from weekly rest days and public holidays, and changes the premium after 100 annual overtime hours.
Yes. Annual overtime is capped at 150 hours in medium and large companies, 175 hours in micro and small companies, and up to 200 hours if a collective labour regulation instrument raises the cap. On a normal working day, overtime is limited to 2 hours.
