Overtime Pay Calculator
Calculate your total pay for a week that includes overtime hours.
How overtime pay is calculated
Hours up to the threshold are paid at your regular rate. Hours above it count as overtime and are paid at your rate × the overtime multiplier (1.5×, i.e. time and a half, is the standard rate under US federal law for non-exempt employees working over 40 hours/week, but check your state and employer rules since some differ).
Some employers pay double time (2×) for holidays or a second overtime threshold — set the multiplier to 2 for those hours. The total shown is gross pay, before tax.
Example: $22.00/hour, 46 hours worked, 40-hour threshold, 1.5× multiplier → 40 regular hours ($880.00) + 6 overtime hours ($198.00) = $1,078.00 total.
Not every state stops at the federal 40-hour weekly rule — California, for example, also requires overtime after 8 hours in a single workday and double time after 12, per the state's Department of Industrial Relations. Federal overtime applies to covered non-exempt employees; certain salaried executive, administrative, and professional roles are exempt under the FLSA (Department of Labor Fact Sheet #23), and this tool doesn't determine which category you're in.
Example: $19.50/hour, 44 hours worked, 40-hour threshold, 2× multiplier → 40 regular hours ($780.00) + 4 double-time hours ($156.00) = $936.00 total.
