How this calculator works
- 1Regular hours are paid at your base rate.
- 2Overtime hours are paid at your base rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier, normally 1.5.
- 3Double-time hours are paid at twice the base rate and added to the total.
Formula
Overtime pay = Overtime hours × Hourly rate × 1.5 · Total pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay + Double-time pay
Worked example
- $22 per hour with 40 regular hours and 6 overtime hours.
- Overtime rate is $33. Overtime pay is 6 × $33 = $198.
- Regular pay is $880, so total gross pay for the week is $1,078.
What we assume
- Federal law generally requires 1.5× pay after 40 hours in a workweek for non-exempt employees.
- Some states require daily overtime or double time after certain thresholds.
- Overtime is usually calculated on the regular rate of pay, which can include some bonuses and differentials.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5, then multiply by the number of overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay.
Who qualifies for overtime?
Non-exempt employees generally qualify after 40 hours in a workweek. Exempt salaried roles usually do not. Your state may have extra protections.
Is overtime taxed more?
No. Overtime is ordinary income. A bigger paycheck can push more of that check into higher withholding, but the rate on your normal pay doesn't change.
