How to use it

  1. Enter your regular hourly rate.
  2. Enter regular hours and overtime hours for the period (a week, for most US overtime rules).
  3. Set the overtime multiplier — 1.5 for time and a half — and any double-time hours.

Examples

Six hours of time and a half

At $22/hour, 40 regular hours pay $880. Six overtime hours at $33/hour add $198, for $1,078 total.

Overtime and double time

At $20/hour: 40 regular hours ($800), 10 hours at 1.5× ($300) and 4 hours at 2× ($160) total $1,260.

How overtime pay works

Your overtime rate is your regular rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier. Time and a half is 1.5×, so $22 an hour becomes $33 for each overtime hour. Double time is 2×.

Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act, most hourly employees earn at least 1.5× for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states, such as California, also require daily overtime and double time. Check your local rules or your employment contract.

total = rate × regular + rate × multiplier × overtime + rate × 2 × double-time

Frequently asked questions

When does overtime start?

Under US federal law, after 40 hours in a workweek for non-exempt employees. Some states add daily limits (for example, over 8 hours in a day in California), and other countries have their own rules.

Do salaried employees get overtime?

It depends on whether the job is classified as exempt. Many salaried roles are exempt, but salaried employees below certain pay thresholds or in some job types are still entitled to overtime.

How do I find my hours for the week?

Use the work hours calculator to total your shifts, including breaks. It also splits the total into regular and overtime hours.
