Overtime Calculator
Enter your hourly rate and the hours you worked to see your regular pay, overtime pay and gross pay for the week.
How the overtime calculator works
Enter your regular hourly rate and the total hours you worked in the week. Hours up to the overtime threshold are paid at the regular rate. Hours above it are paid at the regular rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier, which is 1.5 for time and a half and 2 for double time.
Under US federal law, covered employees who are not exempt must be paid at least one and one-half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. See the U.S. Department of Labor page on overtime pay for who is covered. Some states have additional rules, such as daily overtime, so check your state labor department. Results are gross pay before taxes and deductions.
The formulas
Example: At $20 an hour, a 48-hour week has 40 regular hours ($800.00) and 8 overtime hours paid at $30.00 an hour ($240.00). Gross pay is $1,040.00, an average of $21.67 per hour.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5 and by the number of overtime hours, then add your regular pay for the first 40 hours.
What is time and a half?
It means you are paid 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. Double time pays 2 times the regular rate.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
It depends on whether the job is exempt under the law. A salary alone does not decide it. See the Department of Labor guidance.
Does this include taxes?
No. The result is gross pay. Taxes and other deductions are taken out afterward.
Do some states have different overtime rules?
Yes. Some states require overtime after a certain number of hours in a day. Check your state labor department.
