Overtally is built by Ihor Bezrukavnyk. It is one person, one engine and a rules table that cites where every number came from.
Last reviewed · maintained by Ihor Bezrukavnyk · how we calculate
Hourly pay rules are genuinely complicated, and almost every tool built for them stops at hours × rate. That answer is fine in most of North America and wrong in 18 places: a twelve-hour day in California, a 44-hour week in Ontario, a seventh consecutive day in Kentucky, a province that pegs the overtime rate to the minimum wage instead of to yours. The error runs in one direction — nobody is accidentally overpaid by a tracker that multiplies.
Overtally exists so that the person doing the work can produce the number themselves, with the rule and the arithmetic sitting next to it. Not a suspicion that a week came up short. A line-by-line figure, and the section of the labour code it came out of.
The third figure is the interesting one: a daily threshold, a 44- or 48-hour week, a seventh-day premium, or an overtime rate set by statute rather than by your contract.
I am not a lawyer and nothing here is legal advice. The pages explain a rule, show the arithmetic it produces, and link the statute so you can read the words yourself.
Overtally never touches your employer’s system, never files anything and never sees your stub. It prices the hours you enter against the rules of the place you worked them.
Where a rule depends on something only you know — your employer’s designated workweek, a written averaging agreement, an industry exemption — the app asks instead of assuming.
A threshold, a multiplier or an effective date comes from a statute or a government agency page, never from a payroll blog or a comparison table that copied another comparison table.
Each rule page carries the day it was last read against that source and the name of the person who read it. The date moves when the page is re-read, not when the site is redeployed.
Send the jurisdiction, the figure you believe is wrong and a link to the statute. It gets fixed within the week, or you get a reply with the source I read and why it says what it says.
The site runs the same engine the app runs, and every result breaks down into lines you can check by hand against your stub.
The method is written out in full on how we calculate, down to the order the engine applies the rules in and the questions it refuses to answer for you.
One address, read by one person: support@overtally.com. A wrong rule is the most useful thing you can send — what to put in that message. The site itself collects nothing about you; privacy is short for that reason.
the app
The website prices one week at a time. The app keeps the whole record — shifts, rates, your employer’s real workweek, a pay period that adds up — on the phone itself.
Overtally computes what you should be paid before taxes. It does not calculate take-home pay, withholding or deductions, and it is not legal advice — it is your own record and your own estimate.
