How it works

Time and a half means your employer pays 1.5 times your normal hourly rate for every overtime hour. Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 to get the overtime rate. Multiply that rate by the number of overtime hours to get your gross overtime earnings. Under the federal FLSA, non-exempt employees are entitled to time and a half for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Some states add further protections. Results are gross pay estimates before taxes and deductions and are not legal advice.

Formula: Overtime rate = Hourly rate x 1.5. Overtime pay = Overtime hours x Overtime rate. Example: $20/hr regular rate gives a $30/hr overtime rate.

FAQs

How do I calculate time and a half pay?

Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 to get the overtime rate. Then multiply the overtime rate by the number of overtime hours worked. For example, $18/hr x 1.5 = $27/hr overtime rate. Eight overtime hours at $27/hr equals $216 in overtime pay.

What is time and a half for $15 an hour?

$15 times 1.5 equals $22.50 per overtime hour. If you work 10 overtime hours at that rate your overtime earnings are $225.

What is 1.5 times the hourly rate?

1.5 times your hourly rate is your time and a half rate. Multiply your regular pay by 1.5: $16/hr becomes $24/hr, $20/hr becomes $30/hr, $25/hr becomes $37.50/hr. Use the calculator above for any wage.

When does time and a half apply?

The federal FLSA requires time and a half for non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a single workweek. Some states have additional daily overtime rules. Certain workers (salaried executives, professionals, and others meeting FLSA exemption tests) may not qualify for overtime. Consult a wage and hour attorney or your state labor department for guidance specific to your situation.
