How this overtime pay calculator works

It splits your pay into regular, overtime, and double-time, then adds them up.

  • Regular pay = hourly rate × regular hours.
  • Overtime pay = hourly rate × multiplier (usually 1.5) × overtime hours.
  • Double-time pay = hourly rate × 2 × double-time hours.
  • Total gross = regular + overtime + double-time pay.

US federal law sets overtime at 1.5× for hours over 40 per week; some states add daily rules.

For example, if your regular rate is $20/hour, your overtime rate is $30/hour. Multiply the overtime rate by the number of overtime hours worked to find your total overtime pay.

  • Time-and-a-half refers to 1.5 times the employee's regular pay rate. It is the standard rate for calculating overtime pay under federal law. For instance, if you earn $20/hour, your overtime rate at time-and-a-half would be $30/hour.
