Working extra hours? Our calculator computes your total pay including regular time, overtime (1.5x), and double time (2x) rates. See exactly how much those extra hours are worth and track your effective hourly rate.
Under FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive 1.5x their regular rate for hours over 40/week. Some states and employers also offer double time (2x) after certain thresholds, like over 12 hours/day or on holidays.
Overtime Pay Formula
Total = (Regular Hours × Rate) + (OT Hours × Rate × 1.5)Confirm your overtime was calculated correctly.
Estimate earnings with anticipated overtime.
Decide if overtime is worth it financially.
Federal law requires overtime after 40 hours/week. Some states (like California) also require daily overtime after 8 hours. Check your state laws and employment contract.
Time-and-a-half means 1.5x your regular rate. If you earn $20/hour, overtime pays $30/hour. This is the federal minimum for overtime pay.
Double time (2x rate) isn't federally required but some states (like California after 12 hours/day) or employers offer it. Always check your specific situation.
Most hourly workers are eligible. Salaried employees may be exempt if earning above $35,568/year AND meeting certain job duty tests. When in doubt, ask HR or consult labor laws.
