Overtime Pay Calculator
Enter your hourly wage and hours. The calculator applies time-and-a-half (or another multiplier) to overtime hours and shows your total gross pay.
Overtime pay formula
Overtime rate = hourly rate × 1.5
Total pay = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × overtime rate)
Example
At $22 an hour, 40 regular hours pay $880. Eight overtime hours at $33 (1.5 × $22) pay $264, for a total of $1,144.
US overtime basics
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), covered non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states have stricter rules — California, for example, also requires daily overtime after 8 hours and double time in some situations. Many salaried professional, executive and administrative employees are exempt. Check the Department of Labor or your state labor office for the rules that apply to you.
