About Overtime Pay Calculator (Time and a Half)

The Overtime Pay Calculator computes regular and overtime earnings under Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulations: standard 1.5x hourly pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, and 2.0x for holiday/double-time hours.

Formula & Mathematical Calculation

Regular Pay = Hourly Wage × min( 40, Total Hours Worked )

Overtime Pay (1.5x) = Hourly Wage × 1.5 × Overtime Hours (> 40)

Total Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay + Double Time Pay

Calculation Example

$25.00/hr Wage working 50 Hours (40 Regular + 10 Overtime @ $37.50/hr): Regular Pay = $1,000.00 | Overtime Pay = $375.00 → Total Gross Paycheck = $1,375.00.

  • For decisions with lasting financial impact, confirm the numbers with a qualified professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay.

Regular hours are the lesser of 40 and your total hours worked. Overtime hours are whatever is left above 40, or zero if you worked 40 or fewer. This split drives the two separate pay figures.

The multiplier defaults to 1.5, or time-and-a-half. Your overtime rate is your hourly wage multiplied by that multiplier, and you can change the multiplier if your arrangement differs.

The tool multiplies your wage by your regular hours for regular pay, multiplies the overtime rate by your overtime hours for overtime pay, then adds the two amounts together for total gross.

Overtime hours come out as zero, so overtime pay is zero. Your total gross is simply your hourly wage multiplied by the hours you actually worked.
