How Overtime Pay Works

Overtime pay is the higher rate you earn for hours beyond your standard schedule. In the US, the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires non-exempt employees to be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate ("time and a half") for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some employers or states pay 2× ("double time") for holidays or very long shifts. The formula is simple: overtime pay = hourly rate × multiplier × overtime hours, added to your regular pay.

For example, at $20/hour with 40 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at 1.5×, you earn $800 regular + (20 × 1.5 × 10) = $300 overtime = $1,100 for the week. That's an effective overtime rate of $30/hour. This calculator breaks down regular pay, overtime pay, your overtime hourly rate, and annualizes the weekly total so you can see the yearly impact of consistent overtime.

1.5× After 40 Hours

US federal law requires time-and-a-half for non-exempt workers beyond 40 hours per week.

💰

The Formula

OT pay = rate × multiplier × OT hours. Add it to regular pay (rate × regular hours) for the weekly total.

Double Time

Some employers and a few states pay 2× for holidays or hours beyond a daily threshold — select 2× to model it.

FAQ

Multiply your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5) and then by the number of overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay. At $20/hour, 10 overtime hours at 1.5× = 20 × 1.5 × 10 = $300 in overtime, on top of your regular weekly pay.
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate, the standard US federal overtime rate for non-exempt employees working over 40 hours a week. At $20/hour, time and a half is $30/hour for each overtime hour.
Overtime isn't taxed at a special higher rate — it's taxed as ordinary income. It can feel that way because extra earnings may be withheld at a higher rate or push part of your income into a higher bracket, but the overtime dollars themselves follow the same tax rules as regular wages.
