Show the math
Hours past the threshold earn a premium rate:
overtime hours = total − threshold
gross = regular × rate + OT × rate × multiplier
US federal law (FLSA) requires 1.5× pay for hours over 40 in a week for non-exempt employees; some states use a daily threshold or higher premium. Check your local rules. All math runs locally in your browser.
What this does
An overtime calculator works out your gross weekly pay when you work overtime, regular hours at your base rate plus hours past the threshold at a premium multiplier.
How it works
Hours up to the threshold (usually 40 per week) are paid at your regular rate; hours beyond it are paid at that rate times the multiplier, typically 1.5 (time and a half).
Pay = regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × multiplier
How to use it
- Enter your base hourly rate.
- Enter your total hours worked.
- Set the overtime threshold and multiplier.
- Read your gross weekly pay.
Understanding your result
Under US federal law (FLSA) the threshold is 40 hours per week for non-exempt employees, but some states require daily overtime or a higher premium. This shows gross pay before tax.
Example
45 hours at $20 with a 1.5× premium is $800 regular plus $150 overtime, $950 gross for the week.
