Employee Overtime

Weekly pay with time-and-a-half over 40 hours.

How this calculator works

US FLSA typical rule: hours over 40/week are paid at 1.5× (time-and-a-half). This tool applies that to your hourly rate.

Some states or jobs have different rules — always check your specific policy.

A few states go further than federal law, requiring daily overtime after a certain number of hours in a single day regardless of the weekly total — worth checking local rules if this applies to you.

Example

$22/hr × 40 regular = $880. 8 overtime hours × $33 = $264. Total: $1,144.00.

Frequently asked questions

Are salaried employees eligible for overtime?

Depends on FLSA exemption status. Non-exempt hourly and some salaried employees qualify; exempt executives, professionals, and admins usually don't.

Weekend or holiday premiums?

Not required by federal law unless total weekly hours exceed 40. Company policy or union contracts may add extra premiums.

Does overtime pay affect my tax bracket?

Overtime is taxed the same as regular wages — a larger paycheck may be withheld at a higher rate temporarily, but your actual annual tax bracket is based on total yearly income, not any single paycheck.
