How it works

## How it works

Overtime pay is your hourly rate times the multiplier, often 1.5, times your overtime hours. Regular pay is your rate times regular hours. The total is the two added together, before taxes.

FAQ

## About this calculator

**How is overtime pay calculated?**

Multiply your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier, often one and a half, and then by your overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay.

**When does overtime start?**

It depends on your job and where you work. In the United States, many non-exempt employees get overtime after 40 hours in a workweek, and some states add daily rules. Check with your employer or the labor department.

**Is this before taxes?**

Yes. It shows gross pay. Taxes and deductions come out afterward.

**Is anything saved?**

No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.

## Overtime pay examples

### Time and a half

At $20 an hour, 40 regular hours pay $800.00. Six overtime hours at 1.5 times pay $30.00 an hour, which is $180.00. Gross pay for the week is $980.00.

### Double time

If your employer or contract pays double time for some hours, set the multiplier to 2. Four hours at $20 x 2 are $160.00.

### Things that change the answer

- Overtime usually starts after 40 hours in a workweek for non-exempt employees in the U.S., and some states also count hours worked in a day.
- Certain bonuses can raise the hourly rate that overtime is based on, so the "regular rate" is sometimes higher than the base wage. Ask your employer or check the labor department.
- The result is gross pay. Tax and deductions come out afterward.
