How it works
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours worked, then by the multiplier. The extra is the holiday pay minus what the same hours would earn at the usual rate.
The multiplier comes from your employer's policy or your contract. Enter the one that applies to you.
Worked example
Working 8 hours at $20.00 an hour with a multiplier of 1.5 gives $240.00, which is $80.00 more than the usual rate.
