How to Use

Start by entering the employee's hourly rate and the number of regular hours worked per week (typically 40). Then enter the overtime hours worked per week beyond the regular schedule.

Select the overtime multiplier — 1.5x is the standard federal requirement under the FLSA. Some states or union agreements may require 2x (double time) for certain situations.

Finally, choose your pay period frequency. The calculator will show your weekly breakdown, per-period pay, annual totals, and the percentage of total income that comes from overtime.

FLSA Overtime Rules

  • Non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek
  • Overtime is calculated on a weekly basis, not per pay period
  • Some states have additional requirements, such as daily overtime after 8 hours
Overtime Rate = Hourly Rate × Multiplier
Regular Weekly Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
OT Weekly Pay = Overtime Rate × OT Hours
Total Weekly Pay = Regular Weekly + OT Weekly
Pay Per Period = Total Weekly × (52 / Periods Per Year)
Annual Total = Total Weekly × 52

Frequently Asked Questions

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that non-exempt employees be paid at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states have additional overtime laws that may require overtime after 8 hours in a single day.
Time-and-a-half (1.5x) is the standard overtime rate required by federal law. Double time (2x) is sometimes required by state laws or union contracts for working on holidays, Sundays, or for hours beyond a certain threshold.
Executive, administrative, and professional employees who are paid on a salary basis and meet the salary threshold ($684 per week as of 2024) may be exempt from overtime. Outside sales employees and certain computer professionals may also be exempt.
For salaried non-exempt employees, convert the salary to an hourly rate by dividing the weekly salary by 40 hours. Then apply the overtime multiplier for all hours worked beyond 40 in the workweek.
