About This Calculator

This calculator computes your total pay for a period including overtime, using the standard federal overtime rate of 1.5x your regular hourly rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a week — or a custom multiplier if your situation differs.

How This Is Calculated

Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Multiplier × Overtime Hours

At $22/hour with 8 overtime hours at 1.5x, overtime pay is $264, on top of $880 in regular pay for 40 hours.

Assumptions

  • Federal law (FLSA) generally requires 1.5x pay for non-exempt employees working over 40 hours/week; some states require daily overtime or double-time in specific cases.
  • Does not account for exempt employee status, which is not eligible for overtime under federal law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under federal law, non-exempt employees are generally entitled to overtime pay (at least 1.5x) for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Exempt employees (often certain salaried, professional, or managerial roles meeting specific criteria) are not entitled to overtime under federal law, though state rules can differ.
