Overtime Pay Calculator

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Federal law requires overtime after 40 hours per workweek for covered employees. Some states require daily overtime (e.g., California mandates time-and-a-half after 8 hours per day).

No. Exempt employees — typically those in executive, administrative, or professional roles earning above a salary threshold — are not entitled to overtime pay under the FLSA.

Double time (2x) is twice the regular rate. Some states and employers require double time for working on holidays or beyond 12 hours in a single day.

Overtime itself is not taxed at a special rate, but earning more income can push you into a higher marginal tax bracket, resulting in more total tax withheld for that pay period.

The effective hourly rate is your total pay divided by total hours worked. When overtime is included, it reflects your blended average rate across all hours in the pay period.
