Overtime Pay Calculator
Calculate time-and-a-half or double-time pay from your hourly rate and hours worked. See regular pay, overtime pay, and your weekly total.
How Overtime Pay Works
1. Find overtime hours
Any hours above the threshold (40/week under US federal law) count as overtime.
2. Apply the multiplier
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5 (time and a half) or 2 (double time) for the overtime rate.
3. Add it up
Total pay is regular pay plus overtime pay for the week.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime pay calculated?
Overtime pay = Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier (usually 1.5). Add that to your regular pay (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) for the weekly total.
What is time and a half?
Time and a half is 1.5× your normal hourly rate. At $20/hour, time and a half is $30/hour. US federal law (FLSA) requires it for non-exempt employees working over 40 hours in a workweek.
When does overtime start?
Federally, overtime applies after 40 hours in a workweek. Some states add daily overtime — California requires it after 8 hours in a day. Adjust the threshold field to match your situation.
What is double time and when does it apply?
Double time is 2× your regular rate. It's not required federally, but state laws or union contracts may require it — for example, California mandates double time after 12 hours in a workday.
Is overtime calculated before or after taxes?
Overtime is calculated on gross (pre-tax) wages. Taxes are then withheld from the combined regular + overtime total like any other pay.
