## Quick Answer

Calculate time-and-a-half overtime pay. Enter your regular hourly wage, regular hours, and overtime hours to see your gross pay breakdown.

## Definition

A time-and-a-half calculator is a payroll planning utility that computes gross earnings for hours worked at premium overtime rates. By multiplying the base hourly wage by 1.5, it calculates the overtime rate and applies it to overtime hours. The tool sums the regular earnings and overtime earnings to report the total gross pay for the hours entered before deductions.

## How to Use

1. **Enter base wage** — Input your regular hourly pay rate in dollars.
2. **Enter hours** — Type in your regular hours (typically up to 40) and your overtime hours.
3. **Review pay breakdown** — Check your time-and-a-half rate, regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross earnings.
