Overtime salary threshold headroom, 2025
This works out one number from the Overtime Salary Threshold figures published for 2025. Every amount it uses is below, with the document it was read from. What you enter is your own: this site has no way to check it, and the answer it produces is not a published figure.

How it is worked out
The published amount less the amount you enter, rounded to the nearest cent. Where what you enter is the larger of the two, the answer is nothing rather than a negative amount.
Which threshold you are checking against, from the 2 this year publishes: Standard salary level, annual equivalent ($35,568), Highly compensated employee total annual compensation ($107,432). The calculator uses the one you pick and says which.
Figures in this colour are computed from the amounts above. They are not published figures and no document states them.
