Quick answer: Overtime pay is the higher rate you earn for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), those extra hours must be paid at at least 1.5 times your regular hourly rate – a rate better known as “time and a half.” Our overtime calculator works it out instantly: enter your hourly rate and the hours you worked, and it shows your regular pay, your overtime pay and your total – per week, per month and per year.
Working extra hours only feels worth it when you know exactly what those hours pay. Many employees guess their overtime, and many payslips quietly round in the employer’s favour. An overtime calculator removes the guesswork. Whether you are checking a paycheck, planning next month’s schedule, or comparing a new job offer that includes regular overtime, this free ot calculator gives you the exact numbers in seconds – no spreadsheets, no manual math, and no sign-up.
The tool handles every common pay setup: time and a half (1.5×), double time (2×), or any custom multiplier your employer uses. You can also change the point where overtime starts – 40 hours is the US standard, but some contracts and countries use 38, 44 or 48 hours – and switch between 19 currencies with live exchange rates, so the overtime calculator works wherever you get paid. In short, it is an overtime pay calculator, a time and a half calculator and a double time calculator in one – free for every worker, on every device.
If you have ever wondered how to calculate overtime pay by hand, it takes three simple steps:
Worked example. You earn $25 per hour and worked 50 hours this week, with overtime at time and a half after 40 hours:
Keep that pattern for a full year and the same week becomes $5,958.33 per month and $71,500 per year. Try your own numbers in the overtime calculator above — it runs the same formula the moment you type.
Use this chart to estimate overtime pay without calculating. Weekly totals assume a 40-hour regular week plus overtime at 1.5×.
| Hourly Rate | Time and a Half (1.5×) | Double Time (2×) | Weekly Pay at 45 hrs | Weekly Pay at 50 hrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $15.00 | $20 | $475 | $550 |
| $12 | $18.00 | $24 | $570 | $660 |
| $15 | $22.50 | $30 | $712.50 | $825 |
| $18 | $27.00 | $36 | $855 | $990 |
| $20 | $30.00 | $40 | $950 | $1,100 |
| $22 | $33.00 | $44 | $1,045 | $1,210 |
| $25 | $37.50 | $50 | $1,187.50 | $1,375 |
| $28 | $42.00 | $56 | $1,330 | $1,540 |
| $30 | $45.00 | $60 | $1,425 | $1,650 |
| $35 | $52.50 | $70 | $1,662.50 | $1,925 |
| $40 | $60.00 | $80 | $1,900 | $2,200 |
Time and a half means you are paid 50% more than your normal rate for overtime hours – your hourly wage multiplied by 1.5. If you earn $20 an hour, your time and a half rate is $30 an hour. It is the minimum overtime rate required by US federal law for non-exempt employees, which is why any time and a half calculator (including this one) uses 1.5× as the default. Quick reference: $15/hr becomes $22.50, $18/hr becomes $27, $25/hr becomes $37.50, and $30/hr becomes $45.
Double time is exactly what it sounds like: twice your regular hourly rate (2×). It is not required by federal law, but many employers pay it for Sundays, public holidays or extremely long shifts, and some states – most notably California – require it in specific situations, such as hours beyond 12 in a single day. If your employer offers double time, select the 2× option in the calculator to see how fast those shifts add up.
For the official rules in full, see the U.S. Department of Labor’s overtime pay page and its guide to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Multiply the hours you worked beyond 40 in the week by 1.5 times your hourly rate, then add your regular pay. Example: at $25/hr with 10 overtime hours - 40 × $25 = $1,000 regular pay, plus 10 × $37.50 = $375 overtime pay, for a total of $1,375. The overtime calculator above does this automatically.
Overtime pay is at least 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for every hour over 40 in a workweek. So if you earn $20/hr, every overtime hour pays $30. On a 50-hour week that is $300 of overtime pay on top of $800 regular pay - $1,100 total.
Time and a half (1.5×) is the US federal minimum for non-exempt workers, but rates vary by country, state and contract. Some employers pay double time (2×) for holidays or Sundays, and some countries set different thresholds and multipliers. This calculator lets you set any multiplier and any starting threshold.
Under US federal law, weekly - overtime starts after 40 hours in one workweek, no matter how the hours are spread across days. A few states, such as California, Alaska, Colorado and Nevada, also have daily overtime rules. If your state uses daily overtime, add up each day's overtime hours and enter the total.
Employees classified as exempt under the FLSA — typically salaried executive, administrative, professional, outside sales and certain computer employees who meet the salary threshold - are not entitled to overtime pay. Most hourly workers are non-exempt and do qualify. If you are unsure, your offer letter or HR department can confirm your classification.
No. Overtime earnings are taxed at the same rates as regular wages. A paycheck with a lot of overtime may have more tax withheld because payroll systems estimate your annual income from that week's pay, but any over-withholding is corrected when you file your tax return.
Yes - being paid a salary does not automatically make you exempt. Non-exempt salaried employees are owed overtime too; their hourly rate is usually their weekly salary divided by the hours the salary is meant to cover. Use our Salary Calculator to convert a salary into an hourly rate first, then bring that rate back here.
