⏱️ Overtime Pay Calculator
See your regular pay, overtime pay, and total for the week.
How This Is Calculated
Hours up to your threshold are paid at your regular rate. Hours beyond the threshold are paid at your regular rate multiplied by your overtime multiplier (1.5× or 2×). This calculator applies the federal weekly-threshold model — some states use daily thresholds instead, which this tool doesn't model.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I qualify for overtime pay?
Under the FLSA, most non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours beyond
40 in a workweek. Some states add daily thresholds — check your state's specific labor laws.
What is double-time pay?
Double-time isn't required by federal law, but some states, union contracts, or company policies apply it
for hours beyond a higher threshold or for certain holidays.
Guide: understanding your result
- Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.
- Some states have stricter rules — for example, daily overtime after 8 hours in California.
- Exempt (typically salaried) employees are not entitled to overtime under federal law.
Worked example
At $25/hour, a 50-hour week pays 40 × $25 = $1,000 plus 10 × $37.50 = $375 of overtime: $1,375 before taxes.
Overtime rates and a 50-hour week
| Regular rate | Overtime (1.5×) | Double time (2×) | 50-hour week |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $22.50 | $30.00 | $825.00 |
| $20.00 | $30.00 | $40.00 | $1,100.00 |
| $25.00 | $37.50 | $50.00 | $1,375.00 |
| $30.00 | $45.00 | $60.00 | $1,650.00 |
| $40.00 | $60.00 | $80.00 | $2,200.00 |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Averaging hours across two weeks — overtime is calculated per workweek.
- Leaving out non-discretionary bonuses that must be included in the regular rate.
