How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter your regular hourly rate - your normal pay before overtime.
  2. Choose your overtime multiplier - 1.5x (time-and-a-half) is the federal standard, some states/employers use 2x (double time).
  3. Set the overtime threshold - the federal default is 40 hours/week, but some states use a daily threshold instead.
  4. Enter your total hours worked for the week to see your regular and overtime pay split out.
Frequently Asked Questions

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. Some states and some employers pay double time in certain situations, such as after 12 hours in a day in California.

Most hourly, non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime under the FLSA. Many salaried employees are classified as "exempt" (typically executive, administrative, professional or outside sales roles above a minimum salary threshold) and are not entitled to overtime. Rules vary by state, so check your state labor department for specifics.

Time-and-a-half means you are paid 1.5 times your normal hourly rate. Double time means you are paid 2 times your normal rate. Federal law only requires time-and-a-half after 40 hours a week, but some states (like California) require double time after 12 hours in a single day or on the 7th consecutive workday.

No, this calculator shows gross pay before federal, state and local taxes, Social Security and Medicare withholding. Use the US Paycheck Calculator to estimate your take-home pay after deductions.

No. Overtime pay is taxed the same as regular wages. It may push more of your income into a higher withholding bracket for that pay period, which can make it look like it is taxed more, but your effective annual tax rate is based on your total yearly income, not the pay period it was earned in.
FLSA Overtime Basics
  • Federal overtime kicks in after 40 hours/week for non-exempt employees.
  • Overtime is paid at 1.5x your regular rate, minimum, under federal law.
  • Some states (e.g. California, Alaska, Nevada) require daily overtime after 8-12 hours.
  • Salaried "exempt" employees are generally not entitled to overtime.
  • Always confirm your classification and state rules with your employer or state labor department.
