How the Calculation Works

Every result above uses these formulas exactly as shown:

OT Rate = Regular Rate × Multiplier  (e.g. $20 × 1.5 = $30/hr)
OT Pay = OT Rate × OT Hours  (e.g. $30 × 8 hrs = $240)
Regular Pay = Regular Rate × Regular Hours  (e.g. $20 × 40 hrs = $800)
Total Pay = Regular Pay + OT Pay  (e.g. $800 + $240 = $1,040)

Federal law (FLSA) requires most employers to pay at least 1.5× the regular rate for hours over 40 per workweek. State laws and employment contracts may set higher rates or different thresholds. U.S. Department of Labor overtime rules →

Frequently Asked Questions

What is time and a half?

Time and a half means you earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. For example, if you earn $20/hour normally, your time-and-a-half rate is $30/hour.

How do I calculate time and a half?

Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5. That is your overtime rate. Then multiply that by the number of overtime hours to get your total overtime pay.

How many hours trigger overtime pay under federal law?

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime is required for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Some states have daily overtime rules (e.g., California requires overtime after 8 hours in a day). Always check your state's rules at dol.gov.

Does this calculator account for taxes?

No — this tool calculates gross pay only (before taxes, deductions, or withholdings). Tax treatment of overtime varies by income level and filing status; consult a tax professional or your employer's payroll department for net-pay estimates.

What is double time, and when does it apply?

Double time is 2× your regular rate. It applies in specific situations — certain union contracts, California's law for hours over 12 in a day, or some employer policies. Use the "Double Time (2×)" option in the calculator above to compute double-time pay.
