How the Overtime Pay Calculator Works
The overtime pay calculator computes your weekly paycheck by separating regular hours from overtime hours and applying the correct multiplier. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the overtime pay rate for non-exempt employees must be at least 1.5× the regular rate for all hours beyond 40 in a workweek. Our overtime pay calculator supports 1.5× (time and a half), 2× (double time), and 2.5× (double time and a half).
Time and a half (1.5×): FLSA minimum for hours over 40/week. At $25/hr → $37.50/hr OT rate.
Double time (2×): Required in California for hours over 12/day or the 7th consecutive day worked.
Double time and a half (2.5×): Premium holiday rate offered by many employers.
Who Qualifies for Overtime Pay?
Non-exempt employees earning under $684/week ($35,568/year) must receive overtime pay under FLSA. Exempt employees — typically salaried managers, executives, and professionals above the salary threshold — generally don't receive overtime pay regardless of hours worked. Several states have additional protections beyond the federal baseline. Use our overtime pay calculator to verify your earnings, and cross-check with our salary after tax calculator to see after-tax impact. Healthcare workers should use the nurse salary calculator which bundles overtime with shift differentials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Time and a half means you earn 1.5× your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. At $25/hr, time and a half = $37.50/hr. The overtime pay calculator applies this automatically. Federal FLSA law requires this rate for all non-exempt employees working more than 40 hours in a workweek.
No — overtime pay is taxed as ordinary income at your normal marginal rate. However, your employer may withhold more taxes from a larger paycheck because they annualize the amount for withholding calculations. The actual rate at year-end is determined by your total annual income, not any single paycheck.
Double time = Regular hourly rate × 2.0. At $30/hr, double time = $60/hr. Enter "2.0" in the overtime multiplier field of this overtime pay calculator. California mandates double time for hours over 12 in a single day or for the 7th consecutive day of work in a week.
The overtime pay calculator shows gross (pre-tax) pay. To see your after-tax overtime income, take the total weekly gross result and enter it as your weekly income in our salary after tax calculator — or multiply by 52 for an annual estimate.
