How Overtime Pay Calculator (Time and a Half) works, step by step

Download itEnter your regular hours worked (up to 40 for a standard week).
Overtime Pay Calculator
Enter your regular hourly rate, the hours you worked at your regular rate, and any overtime hours. Under the standard US rule (from the Fair Labor Standards Act, for most non-exempt hourly workers), hours worked over 40 in a week are paid at 1.5x your regular rate — 'time and a half'. This tool applies that real multiplier to your overtime hours and adds it to your regular pay for a real total weekly paycheck, before tax.
Some employers or union contracts also pay double-time (2x) for certain overtime hours, such as hours over 12 in a day in some states, or holiday work — this tool lets you enter double-time hours separately if that applies to you, using the same real multiplication, not a guess.

Tips for the best results
- Overtime under US federal law (FLSA) generally applies to hours over 40 in a single workweek for non-exempt employees — check your state, since some states (like California) have daily overtime rules too.
- Salaried exempt employees are typically not entitled to overtime pay at all — this calculator is for hourly, non-exempt work.
- This is a before-tax (gross) figure; your real take-home will be lower after federal, FICA and state tax.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming every job pays overtime — many salaried, exempt roles do not.
- Forgetting that some states require daily overtime (e.g. over 8 hours in a day) in addition to the weekly 40-hour rule.
- Mixing up time-and-a-half (1.5x) with double-time (2x) — they're different multipliers for different situations.

Frequently asked questions
What is time and a half?
Paying 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours — the standard US federal overtime rate for eligible hourly workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
When does overtime kick in?
Under federal law, generally for hours worked over 40 in a single workweek for non-exempt employees; some states also require daily overtime rules, which this tool doesn't model separately.
What is double time?
Paying twice your regular rate, which some employers, union contracts or state rules apply to certain hours (like holidays or very long shifts) — enter these separately if they apply to you.
Is this my take-home pay?
No, this shows your gross (before-tax) pay for the week; use the Hourly to Salary or Paycheck Frequency calculators for an after-tax estimate.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Most salaried 'exempt' employees do not receive overtime pay by law; this calculator is intended for hourly, overtime-eligible work.
