Overtime Rate Calculator

Overtime rate = Regular hourly rate × 1.5 ('time-and-a-half'). Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees earn this rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Multiply the overtime rate by overtime hours to get overtime pay.

Double time = Regular hourly rate × 2. It isn't required by federal law, but some states (notably California, after 12 hours in a day or on the 7th consecutive workday) and some union contracts require it for certain extra-long shifts or holiday work.

No — federal law only requires overtime after 40 hours in a workweek, regardless of how those hours are distributed across days. Some states (California, Alaska, Nevada, and a few others) have additional daily overtime thresholds that are more generous than federal law.

No — overtime pay is regular wage income, taxed the same as your normal hourly pay. It's not a bonus or supplemental wage for tax withholding purposes, even though it often appears as a separate line on your pay stub.

California requires overtime (1.5×) for hours worked beyond 8 in a single day, even if the employee doesn't reach 40 hours that week, and double-time (2×) for hours beyond 12 in a single day. California also requires 1.5× for the first 8 hours worked on a 7th consecutive day in a workweek, and 2× for hours beyond 8 on that 7th day — this 7th-day rule isn't modeled here since it depends on a full week's schedule, not a single day's hours.
