Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must be paid at least time-and-a-half (1.5×) for every hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, and overtime hours to get a full pay breakdown — including overtime rate, regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross before taxes.

When to use this calculator

Checking that your paycheck applied the correct overtime rate
Estimating gross pay for a week with overtime before it hits your account
Comparing time-and-a-half (1.5×) vs. double-time (2×) pay
Working out whether extra hours are worth it after the overtime premium
Verifying an employer's overtime math against FLSA rules
Budgeting income for a variable-hours job

States with daily overtime rules (beyond the federal 40-hour week)

Federal law (FLSA) only requires 1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. A handful of states add DAILY overtime — you can earn overtime on a long single day even if your weekly total stays under 40 hours.

State	Daily overtime trigger	Multiplier
California	Over 8 hours in a day	1.5× (hours 9–12)
California	Over 12 hours in a day	2× (double time)
California	7th consecutive workday	1.5× first 8 hrs, 2× beyond 8
Alaska	Over 8 hours in a day	1.5×
Nevada	Over 8 hours in a day	1.5× (only if you earn under 1.5× the state minimum wage)
Colorado	Over 12 hours in a day (or 12 consecutive hours)	1.5×

All other states follow the federal weekly-only standard: overtime kicks in after 40 hours per workweek, with no daily rule. Where both a daily and weekly rule could apply, you are owed whichever yields more — overtime hours are not counted twice. To use this calculator for daily overtime, enter the qualifying hours in the Overtime Hours field and pick the matching multiplier (1.5× or 2×).

How it works

How to Calculate Overtime Pay

Overtime pay follows a simple formula:

Overtime Rate = Hourly Rate × Multiplier (usually 1.5)
Regular Pay   = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
Overtime Pay  = Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours
Total Gross   = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

Worked Example

$20/hour | 40 regular hours | 10 overtime hours | 1.5× multiplier

Item	Calculation	Result
Overtime rate	$20 × 1.5	$30.00/hr
Regular pay	$20 × 40 hrs	$800.00
Overtime pay	$30 × 10 hrs	$300.00
Total gross	$800 + $300	$1,100.00

FLSA Overtime Rules

40-hour threshold: Covered non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× for hours over 40 per workweek.

Workweek definition: A fixed 7-consecutive-day period set by the employer — not the pay period.

State additions: California requires 1.5× after 8 hours/day and 2× after 12 hours/day. Alaska and Nevada also have daily OT rules.

Salaried employees: May still qualify for overtime unless they clear both the salary threshold ($684/week as of 2024) and a duties test.

What This Calculator Does Not Include

Federal, state, or local income tax withholding

FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%)

Non-discretionary bonuses that raise the 'regular rate' under FLSA

Daily overtime rules (California, Alaska, Nevada) — use the multiplier manually

Example: 10 overtime hours at $20/hr

Overtime rate: $20 × 1.5 = $30.00/hour

Regular pay: $20 × 40 hours = $800.00

Overtime pay: $30 × 10 hours = $300.00

Total gross: $800 + $300 = $1,100.00 for the 50-hour week

Frequently asked questions

How is overtime pay calculated?

Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours. The standard US multiplier is 1.5 (time and a half). Example: $20/hour × 1.5 × 10 overtime hours = $300 in overtime pay.

What is time and a half?

Time and a half means 1.5× your regular hourly rate. It is the federal minimum overtime premium under the FLSA for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. A $20/hr rate becomes $30/hr for overtime hours.

When does overtime kick in?

Under US federal law (FLSA), overtime applies to hours worked over 40 in a single workweek for covered non-exempt employees. California adds daily overtime — 1.5× after 8 hours and 2× after 12 hours in a day.

What is double time?

Double time is 2× your regular rate. It is not required by federal law but is common in union contracts or California rules (hours over 12/day, or the 7th consecutive workday). Set the multiplier to 2× in this calculator.

Is overtime pay taxed more?

No. Overtime income is taxed at the same marginal rates as regular wages. A larger paycheck may push more income into a higher withholding bracket for that pay period, but your annual effective tax rate does not change. This calculator shows gross pre-tax pay.

Do salaried employees get overtime pay?

Sometimes. Salaried employees are entitled to overtime unless they meet both the FLSA salary threshold ($684/week in 2024) and an exemption duties test (executive, administrative, or professional). Many salaried workers are non-exempt and are owed overtime.

How do I calculate overtime for a partial hour?

Use decimal hours: 30 minutes = 0.5 hours, 15 minutes = 0.25 hours. For 9.5 overtime hours at $30/hr: $30 × 9.5 = $285. This calculator accepts quarter-hour increments.

Does overtime include bonuses in the calculation?

Under the FLSA, the 'regular rate' used for overtime can include non-discretionary bonuses and commissions, which raises the overtime base rate. This calculator uses the base hourly rate you enter; manually add bonuses into the rate if they apply.

What is the overtime formula?

Total gross pay = (hourly rate × regular hours) + (hourly rate × 1.5 × overtime hours). Or expressed as: Regular Pay + Overtime Pay = Total Gross Pay.

Can my employer require me to work overtime?

Generally yes — the FLSA does not cap total hours an adult can work, only the minimum rate employers must pay. Most at-will employees can be required to work overtime or risk disciplinary action. However, they must be paid at least the 1.5× overtime rate.
