How this is calculated
- Yearly salary = hourly wage × hours a week × paid weeks a year.
- Overtime = hourly wage × 1.5 × overtime hours a week × paid weeks, added to your salary. Overtime starts after 40 hours in a week. The minimum overtime rate is $24.53 an hour (1.5 times the minimum wage), not 1.5 times your own wage.
- Take-home pay comes from our Newfoundland and Labrador income tax calculator: federal and Newfoundland and Labrador income tax, CPP, CPP2 and EI on your total yearly pay, using CRA’s T4127 payroll formulas.
- Per period: monthly, twice-monthly and every-two-weeks amounts split the year into 12, 24 and 26 equal pays. Weekly and hourly amounts divide by the weeks and hours you actually work, overtime included.
Switching from salary to hourly works the same way in reverse: salary ÷ (hours a week × paid weeks). Hourly amounts are rounded to the cent.

Special minimum wages
Newfoundland and Labrador has one general minimum wage; the province’s labour standards guide lists no separate student or liquor server rate.
Tips belong to the employee they’re given to; your employer, manager or supervisor can’t take a share. A surcharge charged instead of a tip counts as a tip.
Your employer can’t make you pay for a uniform with the company’s logo, or deduct cash shortages, bad cheques or damage from your wages.
Time at the workplace at your employer’s request, such as mandatory meetings, closing cash or required training, must be paid.

Overtime rules in Newfoundland and Labrador
Overtime is every hour over 40 in a week. There’s no daily overtime, but you must get at least 8 hours in a row off in every 24 hours, except in an emergency. The rate is at least 1.5 times the minimum wage, not 1.5 times your own wage.
Time off instead of pay. If you and your employer agree, you can take 1.5 hours of paid time off for each overtime hour instead. It must be taken within 3 months (longer if you both agree) and settled within 12 months; if you leave first, the overtime is paid within 7 days.
Who’s different. Farming, livestock work, and live-in housekeepers or babysitters with an arrangement for time off are exempt. If your employer approves your written request to switch shifts with a co-worker, the extra hours don’t count as overtime.
Worked example: five 10-hour days at $25.00 an hour
That’s 50 hours in the week. Only hours over 40 in the week count, so 50 − 40 = 10 hours are overtime, even though each day is 10 hours long.
| 40 regular hours × $25.00 | $1,000.00 |
|---|---|
| 10 overtime hours × $25.00 | $250.00 |
| Pay for the week | $1,250.00 |
Newfoundland and Labrador’s overtime minimum is 1.5 times the minimum wage, $24.53 an hour. That’s less than $25.00, so the law adds nothing for these overtime hours: they’re owed at your regular $25.00. Your employer, contract or union agreement can pay more. At the $16.35 minimum wage, the same week is 40 × $16.35 + 10 × $24.53 = $899.25.

If you’re called in for less than 3 hours in Newfoundland and Labrador
If you’re called in and not given at least 3 hours of work, your employer must either let you work 3 hours or pay the unworked part of the 3 hours at the minimum wage (or the minimum overtime rate). If you show up for a shift of 3 hours or more and it’s cancelled, you’re paid for at least 3 hours.
Example: you earn $25.00 an hour and you’re called in for 1 hour’s work. You’re owed $57.70: $25.00 for the hour you worked, plus the other 2 hours × the $16.35 minimum wage.
- A shift scheduled for only 2 hours is paid for the 2 hours.

Paid public holidays and holiday pay in Newfoundland and Labrador
Newfoundland and Labrador has 6 paid public holidays:
- New Year’s Day
- Good Friday
- Memorial Day (Canada Day)
- Labour Day
- Remembrance Day
- Christmas Day
Who qualifies. For pay on a holiday you don’t work, you need 30 calendar days with the employer before it and must work your scheduled shift before and after it. Working the holiday needs no qualifying.
Holiday pay. An average day’s pay. If your hours vary, your hourly rate × your average hours a day over the 3 weeks before the holiday.
If you work the holiday, you get either
- twice your regular rate for the hours you work (double time, not time-and-a-half); or
- another day off with pay within 30 days, or an extra vacation day.
If it’s not one of your work days. You get the first working day after the holiday off with pay, or another day you and your employer agree on.
If you’re asked to work fewer hours than usual on the holiday, you’re paid your regular rate for the hours worked plus a regular day’s pay.
Only six days are paid public holidays under the Labour Standards Act. Others can be proclaimed by the provincial cabinet, and a collective agreement can substitute different days.

Vacation and vacation pay in Newfoundland and Labrador
| Years of service | Vacation time | Vacation pay |
|---|---|---|
| Under 15 years | 2 weeks | 4% of gross wages, including commissions and overtime |
| 15 years or more | 3 weeks | 6% of gross wages |
- You qualify for vacation time after 12 continuous months in which you worked at least 90% of the available hours. Vacation pay is owed to anyone employed at least 5 work days.
- Your employer must give you at least two weeks’ written notice, let you take it within 10 months, and let you take it in one block or in one-week blocks.
- Your employer can cancel a vacation, but if it was agreed in writing, must repay expenses you can’t recover.
- Vacation pay is due at least a day before your vacation (or on each cheque if shown on your pay records), or within a week of your job ending.

Worked example: $25 an hour with overtime
You earn $25 an hour and work 45 hours a week (9 hours a day, 5 days), paid all year. Overtime starts after 40 hours in a week. The minimum overtime rate is $24.53 an hour (1.5 times the minimum wage), not 1.5 times your own wage.
| Regular pay: $25 × 40 × 52 | $52,000.00 |
|---|---|
| Extra hours at your wage: $25 × 5 × 52 | $6,500.00 |
| Total yearly pay | $58,500.00 |
| Income tax, CPP, CPP2 and EI | −$13,663.74 |
| Take-home pay | $44,836.26 |
The 5 extra hours add $6,500.00 before tax but $4,270.41 after tax, because those extra dollars are taxed at your marginal rate of 28.5% rather than your average rate. Spread over 45 hours a week, your take-home works out to $19.16 an hour.
That’s the legal minimum in Newfoundland and Labrador. If your employer pays 1.5 × your wage for every hour over 40, which is more than the law requires here, the same week comes to $61,750.00 a year, or $46,799.57 after tax: enter 40 hours a week and 5 overtime hours in the calculator.
What this calculator assumes

- It doesn’t add shift premiums, tips, bonuses, general holiday pay or vacation pay on top. If you’re paid for vacation, use 52 weeks.
- It doesn’t include RRSP or pension contributions, union dues, benefits or other payroll deductions.
Frequently asked questions
How much is $25 an hour per year in Newfoundland and Labrador after tax?
At $25 an hour, 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, you earn $52,000 a year before tax. After federal and Newfoundland and Labrador income tax, CPP and EI, you take home about $40,565.85, which is $1,560.23 every two weeks or $19.50 for each hour worked.
How much is minimum wage per year in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Newfoundland and Labrador’s general minimum wage is $16.35 an hour (since April 1, 2026). Full time (40 hours a week, 52 weeks), that's $34,008 a year, or about $28,109.11 after tax and deductions.
How many working hours are in a year?
A full-time year of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours. At 37.5 hours a week it's 1,950 hours. If you take two weeks off unpaid, use 50 weeks in the calculator: that's 2,000 hours at 40 hours a week.
How is overtime paid in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Overtime starts after 40 hours in a week. The minimum overtime rate is $24.53 an hour (1.5 times the minimum wage), not 1.5 times your own wage.
Should I use 52 weeks if I get vacation pay?
Yes, in most cases. Newfoundland and Labrador’s rule: 4% of gross wages, rising to 6% after 15 years with the same employer, which is paid for your weeks off. Whether it's paid during your time off or added to each cheque, you're paid for the full year, so 52 weeks gives the right yearly total.
What is $60,000 a year as an hourly wage?
$60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour if you work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours). Type a salary into the calculator to convert it the other way, including after-tax hourly pay.
Why is my after-tax hourly wage so much lower than my pay rate?
Income tax, CPP and EI all come off before you're paid. At $25 an hour about 22% goes to deductions, so $25.00 becomes $19.50. Because tax rates rise with income, the gap grows as your wage goes up.
