How does the Overtime Pay Calculator work?
Overtime pay is the extra wage owed for hours beyond a set limit. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt workers earn at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.
Weekly pay = regular rate × regular hours + regular rate × multiplier × overtime hours. Some states, such as California, also require daily overtime and double time.
For example, at $22 an hour, 40 regular hours plus 8 overtime hours paid at 1.5 times the rate is $880 + $264 = $1,144 in gross weekly pay, before deductions.

Frequently asked questions
Is overtime taxed more?
Overtime is taxed as ordinary wages. Withholding may look higher on a large check, but your annual tax is set by your total income. Check current IRS guidance on any federal overtime deduction.
How do I calculate time and a half?
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5. At $22 an hour, the overtime rate is $33, so 8 overtime hours add $264 to your week.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Some do. Salaried workers paid under $684 a week, or who fail the FLSA duties tests, are non-exempt and must get overtime.
Is overtime required on weekends or holidays?
Not under federal law. The FLSA only requires overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek, regardless of which days they fall on.
