How it works

Multiply your regular hours by your hourly rate to get regular pay. Multiply overtime hours by your rate and then by the overtime multiplier to get overtime pay. Add both for total gross pay before taxes and deductions. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5 times their regular rate for all hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states also have daily overtime rules. Results are estimates before taxes and are not legal advice.

Formula: Regular pay = Regular hours x Hourly rate. Overtime pay = Overtime hours x Hourly rate x Multiplier. Total pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay. FLSA default multiplier: 1.5 (time and a half).

FAQs

How do I calculate my overtime pay?

Multiply your overtime hours by your regular hourly rate, then multiply by the overtime multiplier (1.5 for standard time and a half). Add that amount to your regular pay (regular hours times hourly rate) for total gross pay. For example, 5 overtime hours at $20/hr with a 1.5 multiplier is $150 in overtime pay.

What is OT for $20 an hour?

At $20 per hour, your overtime rate is $20 times 1.5, which equals $30 per overtime hour. Each overtime hour earns $30 in gross pay. Work 5 overtime hours and you earn $150 in overtime on top of your regular weekly pay.

Is overtime 1.5 or 2 times the regular rate?

Under the federal FLSA, overtime is at least 1.5 times (time and a half) your regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Double time (2x) is not federally required but is sometimes mandated by state law (California requires double time after 12 hours in a day) or by a union contract. Check your state laws and employment agreement for your specific rate.

How do you calculate overtime hours worked?

Count all hours actually worked in a workweek (Sunday through Saturday for most employers). Any hours above 40 are overtime hours under the FLSA. Do not include paid time off, sick days, or holidays when counting hours worked for overtime purposes unless your employer or state law specifies otherwise.
