Overtime Calculator
Calculate your overtime pay based on hours worked and hourly rate. Supports time-and-a-half and double-time rates.
How Overtime Pay Is Calculated
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees in the United States must receive overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. For example, if your hourly rate is $20 and you work 50 hours, you earn $800 for the first 40 hours (40 × $20) plus $300 for overtime (10 × $30), totaling $1,100 for the week.
Some states and employers offer double-time pay (2× the regular rate) for hours beyond a second threshold — commonly after 12 hours in a single day or 60 hours in a week. California, for instance, requires double time after 12 hours in a day. Our calculator lets you set custom thresholds for both overtime and double-time rates to match your specific situation.
To convert your overtime earnings to an annual figure, multiply your average weekly pay by 52. If you know your salary and want to find your hourly rate, try our salary calculator. For tracking daily work hours, use the time card calculator, and for simple hour totals, see the hours calculator.
