Enter your total weekly hours and hourly rate to see how much is regular pay and how much is overtime. Adjust the overtime threshold and multiplier for time-and-a-half, double time, or your state's rules.

Default: overtime after 40 hours a week at 1.5× (time and a half). Figures are gross (pre-tax).
Regular hours are paid at your normal rate; overtime hours are paid at your rate times the multiplier:
Gross = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × multiplier)
Example. You work 45 hours at $20/hour. The first 40 hours are regular ($800). The 5 overtime hours are paid at 1.5× = $30/hour, so $150. Your gross pay is $950 for the week.
Your overtime (1.5×) rate for common hourly wages.
| Regular rate | Time and a half (1.5×) |
|---|---|
| $12/hr | $18.00/hr |
| $15/hr | $22.50/hr |
| $18/hr | $27.00/hr |
| $20/hr | $30.00/hr |
| $25/hr | $37.50/hr |
| $30/hr | $45.00/hr |
| $40/hr | $60.00/hr |
| $50/hr | $75.00/hr |
Overtime is usually paid at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a week. Multiply your rate by 1.5 to get the overtime rate, then multiply by your overtime hours. Example: $20/hour becomes $30/hour overtime; 5 overtime hours = $150.
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. If you earn $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 an hour. It is the standard federal overtime rate in the US under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
$20 an hour at time and a half is $30 an hour. For 45 hours in a week (40 regular + 5 overtime), you would earn $800 regular + $150 overtime = $950 gross.
Under federal FLSA rules, overtime applies after 40 hours in a week. Some states (like California) also require daily overtime after 8 hours a day. Set the threshold in the calculator to match your rule.
No. Overtime is typically 1.5×, while double time is 2× your regular rate, often for holidays or hours beyond a daily limit in certain states. Change the multiplier to 2 to calculate double time.
This calculator shows gross overtime pay before tax. Overtime earnings are taxed as regular income; your take-home amount will be lower after withholding.
