Calculate pay for national holiday work including overtime rates.
Select hourly or monthly pay, enter hours worked. Calculated per Taiwan Labor Standards Act.
The holiday overtime pay calculator is a free Eatsy tool: enter a monthly or hourly wage and the hours worked to estimate holiday and rest-day overtime pay under Articles 39 and 40 of Taiwan's Labor Standards Act. It is a formula-based estimate; actual pay follows your employment contract and the authority's interpretation.
Shift workers may work on rest days; enable this to calculate rest-day premiums.
Under Taiwan's Labor Standards Act §39, holiday work is paid at double (2x for the first 8 hours). Beyond 8 hours, under §24: first 2 hours +1/3 (x1.33), next 2 hours +2/3 (x1.67).

Overtime pay starts from the roster
You just counted those hours by hand. Build this month's roster first and the hours fall out of it — next month you won't count again.
Plan ahead with a full calendar of national holidays and tourism peaks to budget overtime costs.
Per Article 39 of the Labor Standards Act, employers must pay regular wages on national holidays. If an employee works on a holiday, the first 8 hours are paid at 2× regular rate; hours beyond 8 follow extended-hours overtime rules. Example: hourly wage NT$200 × 8 hrs × 2 = NT$3,200.
Rest days (Article 36) use a tiered multiplier — 1.34× for the first 2 hours, 1.67× for hours 3–8, double beyond 8. Holidays apply a flat 2× for all hours up to 8, making them more lucrative for workers and more expensive for employers.
Yes, with employee consent (Article 32-1). Comp hours = worked hours × multiplier (e.g., 8 holiday hours = 16 comp hours). Unused comp time within the agreed window must still be paid out at the end of the period.
Eatsy is usage-based: NT$3 per booking (NT$5 with a deposit), no monthly fee and no contract — in slow months with no bookings you pay nothing. To compare the 3-year total cost of monthly, usage-based, commission and free pricing models, use our TCO calculator and run your own booking volume.
