Overtime Calculator

Calculate overtime pay from your regular hourly rate, overtime hours, and pay multiplier.

How Does This Calculator Work?

The calculator multiplies your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (typically 1.5) to get your overtime rate, then multiplies by the number of overtime hours worked.

Most U.S. overtime pay is calculated at 1.5× (time-and-a-half) your regular hourly rate for qualifying hours. This calculator gives you the overtime pay owed for a given number of overtime hours.

Example Calculation

Weekly Overtime Example

$20/hr regular rate, 5 overtime hours at 1.5×.

20×1.5×5 = $150 overtime pay.

Tips

Under U.S. federal law (FLSA), most non-exempt employees are entitled to at least 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a week — but state rules can differ, so check your local labor law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is overtime always 1.5x?

In the U.S., 1.5× ("time-and-a-half") is the federal minimum for most non-exempt employees, but some employers, union contracts, or state laws (e.g. double-time after a certain threshold) may require a higher multiplier.
