The legal formula
Overtime in Indonesia is governed by PP 35/2021, which kept the calculation method of Kepmenakertrans 102/2004. The hourly base is always:
Hourly wage = 1/173 × monthly wage
The monthly wage is basic salary plus fixed allowances. If a company pays basic salary plus mostly variable allowances, the base cannot be less than 75% of the total wage. Overtime is only owed when the employer instructs it, ideally in writing, and the employee agrees.

Limits
- Overtime on working days is capped at 4 hours a day and 18 hours a week (PP 35/2021). Work on rest days and public holidays sits outside this cap.
- Employers must give a meal and drink worth at least 1,400 kilocalories when overtime runs to 4 hours or more — this cannot be swapped for money.
- Staff in "certain positions" — managers and others paid a higher salary in exchange for flexible hours — are not entitled to overtime pay if their contract says so.
Overtime pay is taxable. It is added to your gross for the month and taxed through TER like any other pay.
CHECK RULES
Collective agreements can set more generous rates. Disputes go to the local manpower office (Disnaker). This calculator follows the statutory minimum.
