Overtime pay calculator
Overtime under the FLSA pays 1.5× your regular rate beyond 40 hours a week. See what your extra hours are worth.
How overtime pay works
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires covered, non-exempt employees to receive at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked past 40 in a workweek. Some states (like California) add daily overtime rules on top.
Your overtime rate here = hourly rate × 1.5. Total weekly pay = regular hours × rate + overtime hours × overtime rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for overtime?
Most hourly (non-exempt) workers. Salaried employees may be exempt if they meet duties tests and earn above the federal salary threshold.
Is overtime taxed more?
Overtime dollars are taxed like regular wages. Withholding on a big check can be higher, but it evens out when you file your return.
What is double time?
2× pay for certain hours (e.g., beyond 12 in a day in California). Federal law doesn't require it; some states and contracts do.
