Taiwan Labor Standards Act reference for monthly-paid employees on a standard 8-hour day and 40-hour week only. Regular hourly wage = monthly wage ÷ 240. Weekday overtime: first 2 hours at 4/3, next 2 at 5/3. Rest-day overtime: first 2 hours at 4/3, hours 3–8 at 5/3 and hours 9–12 at 8/3. This is additional pay, using exact fractions without early rounding. Flexible working schedules, regular days off, national holidays, compensatory leave and special agreements are excluded. Verify hour limits and attendance legality separately. Rules checked 2026-10-31.

Method and scope

Normal hourly wages are monthly normal-hours wages divided by 240. Weekday overtime uses 4/3 for the first two hours and 5/3 for the next two; rest-day work uses 4/3 for hours 1-2, 5/3 for hours 3-8 and 8/3 for hours 9-12.

The result is pay added to normal salary, calculated without rounding the fractional factors early. Normal-hours wages may include more than basic salary; do not include overtime pay again.

Taiwan rules checked on 2026-10-31; weekday input is limited to four hours and rest-day input to 12 hours. Flexible schedules, regular days off, national holidays, compensatory leave and special agreements are excluded; the calculation does not establish that attendance or total hours are lawful.

What this helps you do

Estimate additional overtime pay under Taiwan's general monthly-paid Labor Standards Act framework. This scope assumes normal work of eight hours daily and 40 hours weekly.

What to enter

Start with monthly wages for normal working hours (twd), then fill the other relevant fields in the units shown. The field hints explain the required format and examples.

How the calculation works

Normal hourly wages are monthly normal-hours wages divided by 240. Weekday overtime uses 4/3 for the first two hours and 5/3 for the next two; rest-day work uses 4/3 for hours 1-2, 5/3 for hours 3-8 and 8/3 for hours 9-12.

Worked example

With TWD 36,000 normal monthly wages, the hourly base is TWD 150. Two weekday overtime hours add TWD 400 using the exact 4/3 factor.

Understanding the answer

The result is pay added to normal salary, calculated without rounding the fractional factors early. Normal-hours wages may include more than basic salary; do not include overtime pay again.

Scope and limitations

Taiwan rules checked on 2026-10-31; weekday input is limited to four hours and rest-day input to 12 hours. Flexible schedules, regular days off, national holidays, compensatory leave and special agreements are excluded; the calculation does not establish that attendance or total hours are lawful.
