Overtime for any of the six GCC countries, with the divisor shown — monthly pay over a thirty-day month over your contracted hours. Free, and nothing you type leaves your browser.

Basic only — housing, transport and other allowances sit outside this calculation.
What the contract says, not what was worked. A nine-hour contract produces a lower hourly rate than an eight-hour one on identical pay.
Overtime worked
Overtime on a normal working day, outside the night band.
Only the hours that fall inside the band. A shift crossing it is paid at two different rates.
Hours worked on the weekly rest day. Several of these countries owe a replacement day as well as the money.
Put in a salary, your contracted hours and the overtime worked.

How is the hourly rate worked out?
Monthly pay divided by thirty, divided by the contracted hours in a day. The thirty is the convention every one of these statutes is written in, and the contracted hours are what people get wrong — using hours actually worked instead inflates the rate.
Does the night rate apply to the whole shift?
Only to the hours inside the band. A shift running from 20:00 to 01:00 in the UAE has two hours outside the band and three inside it, at two different rates.
What about working the weekly rest day?
Most of the six pay a premium for it, and several also owe a replacement day off. This prices the hours; the replacement day is a scheduling obligation rather than a payroll one.
Is overtime capped?
Generally at two hours a day, with sector exceptions, and some senior or field roles are outside the overtime regime altogether. The cap is a separate question from the rate — a figure here does not mean the hours were lawful.

Dawmo prices it from the attendance record against the rule the country sets, so the payslip and the clock agree without anybody re-keying a timesheet.
