How the Overtime Calculator Works
Overtime Rate = Regular Rate × Multiplier
Regular Pay = Regular Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
Overtime Pay = Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours
Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
Example: $20/hr · 40 regular hours · 8 overtime hours at 1.5×
Regular = $800 · Overtime = $20 × 1.5 × 8 = $240 · Total = $1,040

Overtime Calculator Frequently Asked Questions
When does overtime pay kick in?
In the US under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states (California, Alaska) also require daily overtime for hours over 8. Always verify your local laws.
What is time and a half?
Time and a half means your overtime pay rate is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. At $20/hr regular, your overtime rate is $30/hr. This is the US federal minimum for overtime.
What is double time?
Double time is 2× the regular rate. Some employers offer double time for holidays or for hours beyond a daily/weekly threshold. In California, double time applies to hours over 12 in a single day.
Are all employees entitled to overtime?
No. 'Exempt' employees (typically salaried workers in executive, administrative, or professional roles earning above the FLSA threshold, currently $684/week) are not entitled to overtime under federal law.
How do shift differentials affect overtime?
Shift differentials (extra pay for nights or weekends) are generally included in the regular rate of pay for overtime calculation purposes, raising the base from which the 1.5× is calculated.
Does overtime compound? (overtime on overtime)
No, overtime is always calculated on your regular base rate, not on previous overtime. The multiplier applies once to your regular hourly rate regardless of how many overtime hours you've worked.
Are the numbers I enter into this calculator saved or tracked?
No. Every calculation runs right inside your browser using local code. Your salary, debts, and loan numbers stay completely private. Nothing is ever saved or sent to any server.
How should I account for taxes, inflation, and unexpected fees?
Most formulas show baseline estimates. In real life, keep local taxes, inflation, and bank fees in mind so your budget matches your actual costs.
