Calculate your weekly pay including regular and overtime hours
Our Overtime Calculator helps employees and employers quickly compute weekly earnings by separating regular pay from overtime pay. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees in the US must receive overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
Some jobs and industries use alternative overtime structures, such as double time (2×) for work on holidays or beyond certain hour thresholds. This calculator supports both time-and-a-half and double-time calculations, giving you a clear picture of your total weekly compensation.
Under the FLSA, most hourly (non-exempt) employees are eligible for overtime pay. Salaried employees may be exempt if they meet certain salary and job duty tests for executive, administrative, professional, or outside sales roles. Each state may have additional overtime laws.
The standard federal overtime rate is 1.5 times (time-and-a-half) the employee's regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Some states require overtime at 2× (double time) for hours worked beyond a certain threshold or on specific days.
The regular rate includes not just your base hourly wage but also nondiscretionary bonuses, shift differentials, and certain other forms of compensation. Divide total weekly compensation (excluding overtime premium) by total hours worked to find the regular rate before applying the overtime multiplier.
Under federal law, overtime is calculated on a weekly basis — any hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states (e.g., California) also require daily overtime for hours beyond 8 in a single day, and double time for hours beyond 12. Check your state's labor laws for specific rules.
Overtime pays extra wages for additional hours worked. Compensatory time ("comp time") grants paid time off instead of cash overtime. Comp time is generally only available to public sector employees in the US; private sector employers must pay overtime in cash.
