How it works: Overtime pay = hourly rate × multiplier × overtime hours. At a 1.5× multiplier, your overtime rate is $30.00/hr. Under the U.S. FLSA, non-exempt employees generally earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. State rules (like daily overtime in California) can differ. Figures shown are gross pay before taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate overtime pay?

Multiply your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (commonly 1.5) to get your overtime rate, then multiply by your overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay (rate × regular hours) for total gross pay. For example, $20/hr × 1.5 = $30/hr for each overtime hour.

What is time and a half?

Time and a half means 1.5 times your normal hourly rate. It's the standard overtime rate under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek. At $20/hr, time and a half is $30/hr.

When does double time apply?

Double time (2× the regular rate) isn't required by federal law but may apply under certain state laws, union contracts, or employer policies — for example, California requires double time after 12 hours in a day. Use the multiplier dropdown to model it.

Who qualifies for overtime pay?

Generally, non-exempt employees paid hourly qualify for overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. Exempt salaried employees (meeting certain duties and salary thresholds) typically do not. Eligibility rules can vary by state and job type.

Is overtime pay taxed differently?

No. Overtime pay is taxed like regular wages. It can appear that more is withheld because the extra income may temporarily push a paycheck into a higher withholding bracket, but your overall tax rate is based on annual income, not on a single paycheck. This calculator shows gross pay before taxes.
