Overtime calculator

Multiply your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier, usually 1.5, to get your overtime rate. Then multiply that rate by the hours you worked past 40 in the week. At 20 an hour and 50 hours worked, overtime pay is 10 × 30 = 300, and the week's gross pay is 800 + 300 = 1,100.

Time and a half is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. If you earn 20 an hour, time and a half is 30 an hour. It is the standard overtime rate under the US Fair Labor Standards Act for hours worked past 40 in a workweek.

Double time is twice your regular hourly rate. Federal law doesn't require it, but some states, union contracts and employers pay it for long days, holidays or a seventh day of work in a row.

In the US, employees classified as non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act must get at least time and a half for hours past 40 in a workweek. Many salaried employees in executive, administrative or professional roles are exempt. Some states have stricter rules, so check your state's labor department.

California counts overtime per day as well as per week: time and a half after 8 hours in a day or 40 in a week, and double time after 12 hours in a day. Extra rules apply to the seventh consecutive workday. This calculator counts overtime per week, so a California week with long days can pay more than it shows.

Overtime is taxed as ordinary income, at the same rates as the rest of your pay. A paycheck with overtime can show more tax withheld because the larger amount is treated as if you earned it every pay period; any excess comes back when you file your return.
