Overtime Pay Calculator

How to calculate overtime pay

Enter your hourly rate and the total hours you worked this week. The calculator splits your hours into regular (up to 40) and overtime (over 40), applies the 1.5× rate to overtime, and shows your total weekly pay.

Formula

• Regular pay = hourly rate × hours up to 40.
• Overtime pay = hourly rate × 1.5 × hours over 40.
• Total weekly pay = regular pay + overtime pay.

This reflects federal FLSA rules. Your state may have additional daily overtime or double-time requirements — check your local labor laws and employer policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is overtime pay calculated?

Under the federal FLSA, non-exempt employees earn 1.5× their regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Total pay = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × 1.5).

When does overtime start?

Federal overtime applies after 40 hours in a single workweek. Hours up to 40 are paid at the regular rate; only hours beyond 40 receive the 1.5× rate.

Who is eligible for overtime?

Non-exempt employees are eligible. Many salaried executive, administrative and professional employees who meet the FLSA duties and salary tests are exempt and do not receive overtime.

Do states have different overtime rules?

Yes. Some states require daily overtime or double-time. For example, California pays overtime after 8 hours in a day and double-time after 12. This calculator uses the federal weekly 40-hour rule.
