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.
