How the overtime pay calculator works
Regular pay = rate × regular hours. Overtime pay = rate × multiplier × overtime hours (multiplier 1.5 for the common "time and a half"). Total = regular + overtime. The premium is the extra half-rate: at time and a half each overtime hour pays the normal rate plus 50%, so 10 hours at a 20 rate adds 20 × 0.5 × 10 = 100 on top of plain-rate pay.
Example: $20/h, 40 regular + 10 overtime at 1.5× → 800 + (20 × 1.5 × 10) = 800 + 300 = $1,100.
US federal law (FLSA) requires at least 1.5× the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees; some states or contracts add daily overtime or double time (2×), set the multiplier to match your rules. This estimates gross pay before taxes and deductions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Multiply your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5) and by the number of overtime hours. At $20/h, 10 overtime hours at time-and-a-half is 20 × 1.5 × 10 = $300, on top of your regular pay.
What is time and a half?
Overtime paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate, the standard US federal minimum for hours over 40 per week. A $20/h rate becomes $30/h for those overtime hours.
When does overtime start?
Under US federal law (FLSA), after 40 hours in a workweek for non-exempt employees. Some states (like California) also require overtime after 8 hours in a day, and double time in some cases, check your local rules and set the multiplier accordingly.
What is double time?
Overtime paid at 2× the regular rate, required in some states or contracts for very long shifts or holidays. Enter 2 as the multiplier to calculate it.
Is this gross or net pay?
Gross, before taxes, insurance and other deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower once withholding is applied.
How do I calculate total pay for a week with overtime?
Add regular and overtime pay: 40 hours at 18/hour is 720, plus 6 overtime hours at 1.5× (18 × 1.5 × 6 = 162), for an 882 gross week.
Does overtime apply to salaried employees?
Only if they are classed as non-exempt. Many salaried roles are exempt from FLSA overtime, while hourly and non-exempt staff must be paid the premium for hours over the threshold, check your classification.
