Overtime Calculator
Use this free overtime calculator to enter your hourly rate and weekly hours and see your overtime pay at time-and-a-half or double time, and what it adds up to over a year.
US federal law (FLSA) requires non-exempt employees be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states and contracts use different rules — adjust the multiplier to match yours.
How overtime pay is calculated
Overtime pay is your regular hourly rate multiplied by an overtime rate — most commonly 1.5× (time and a half) for hours worked beyond 40 in a week under US federal law. Your weekly pay is your regular hours at your normal rate, plus your overtime hours at the higher rate.
Overtime pay = overtime hours × (hourly rate × multiplier)
Overtime calculator FAQ
- How do I calculate overtime pay?
- Multiply your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5), then multiply by your overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay for your total weekly pay.
- What is time and a half?
- Time and a half means your overtime rate is 1.5 times your normal hourly rate. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 an hour for each overtime hour.
- Is overtime taxed differently?
- No. Overtime is taxed at the same rates as the rest of your income. It can feel higher because the extra pay may fall into a higher tax bracket, but the overtime itself isn't taxed at a special rate.
