Overtime Pay Calculator

Overtime pay is your regular hourly rate times an overtime multiplier — federally, at least 1.5× ('time and a half') for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. If you earn $25/hour, overtime pays $37.50/hour. Ten overtime hours add $375 to a week that already includes $1,000 of regular pay.

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees earn overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states (like California) add daily overtime rules or higher multipliers. Salaried 'exempt' employees generally don't qualify. Check your state's rules and your job classification.

Double time pays 2× your regular rate. Federal law doesn't require it — time-and-a-half is the floor — but some employers and states mandate it for holidays or very long shifts (California requires it beyond 12 hours in a day). Switch the multiplier above to model it.

No — overtime is taxed at the same rates as the rest of your income. It can feel like more is withheld because a bigger paycheck may hit a higher withholding tier for that period, but your actual tax depends on your annual total. See the Take-Home Pay calculator for the net effect.
