Frequently asked questions
How are overtime hours calculated?
Overtime hours are the extra hours you work beyond your regular schedule. Under federal law, non-exempt employees must receive at least time and a half (1.5x) their regular hourly rate for each overtime hour worked.
How much is overtime pay?
Overtime pay is usually 1.5 times your normal hourly wage. For example, if you earn $20 per hour, your overtime rate is $30 per hour. Some states and employers offer double time or higher rates.
Is overtime calculated on gross or net pay?
Overtime is calculated based on your gross regular hourly rate, not your net take-home pay. Bonuses, commissions, and certain other payments may also be included in the regular rate when calculating overtime.
What Is Overtime Pay?
Overtime pay is the additional compensation you receive for working more than your standard working hours. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires covered employers to pay non-exempt employees at least one and a half times their regular hourly rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Enter your regular hourly wage, the number of overtime hours you worked, and your overtime multiplier if it differs from the standard 1.5x.

Federal and State Overtime Rules
Most states follow the federal 40-hour workweek rule, but some have stricter daily overtime laws. For example, California requires overtime for more than 8 hours in a single day. Always check your state labor department to confirm the correct overtime rate and eligibility requirements for your job.
