Overtime Calculator
Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, and the overtime multiplier (1.5× by default). We compute regular pay, overtime pay, gross pay, and your effective hourly rate.
e.g. 25.00
Hours at your regular rate. · e.g. 40
Hours at the OT multiplier. · e.g. 8
Overtime multiplier
Default is 1.5× (federal U.S. standard). Set to 2× for double time, or higher for premium rates.
Gross pay
$1,300.00
48 hours total · effective $27.08/hr
Gross pay only — taxes and withholdings are not modeled.
Examples
$25/hr · 40 reg + 8 OT @ 1.5×
= $1,300 gross · $26.04 effective
$18/hr · 40 reg + 12 OT @ 1.5×
= $1,044 gross · $20.08 effective
$30/hr · 40 reg + 5 OT @ 2×
= $1,500 gross · $33.33 effective
How it works
Regular pay is your hourly rate times your regular hours. Overtime pay multiplies the rate by your overtime multiplier (1.5 by default), then by your overtime hours. The two add to give gross pay.
Regular pay · rate × regular hours
Overtime pay · rate × multiplier × OT hours
Effective hourly · gross pay ÷ total hours
Frequently asked questions
Under U.S. federal law (FLSA), most non-exempt employees get 1.5× their regular rate for hours beyond 40 in a workweek — commonly called "time and a half." Some states and employers use 2× ("double time") for Sundays, holidays, or hours beyond 12 in a day. Set the multiplier to match your situation.
No — this calculator gives you gross pay only. Withholdings (federal, state, FICA) reduce take-home pay and depend on your specific filing situation. Use a paycheck calculator for net pay.
Federal law uses a 40-hour weekly threshold. Some states (California, Alaska, Nevada, others) also count overtime daily, typically beyond 8 hours. Always check your state's labor rules and your employer's policy.
Some are, some aren't. "Exempt" salaried employees (executive, administrative, and professional roles meeting specific criteria) are not entitled to overtime under federal law. "Non-exempt" salaried employees are. Check your offer letter or HR.
