What This Calculator Does
This overtime pay calculator computes your total weekly earnings when you work beyond your regular hours. Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, and overtime multiplier to see exactly how much you'll earn — broken down by regular pay, overtime pay, and the total combined figure.
How It Works
The calculation follows the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) method:
Regular Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours
Overtime Rate = Hourly Rate × Multiplier (e.g., 1.5x)
Overtime Pay = Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours
Total = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
Select 1.5x for standard time-and-a-half, 2.0x for double time, or 2.5x for some premium situations.
Example Calculation
An employee earning $22/hour works 40 regular hours plus 8 hours of overtime at 1.5x:
- Regular pay: 40 × $22 = $880
- Overtime rate: $22 × 1.5 = $33/hr
- Overtime pay: 8 × $33 = $264
- Total weekly pay: $1,144
Why This Matters
Overtime pay can significantly boost your take-home — but it's worth knowing whether it's truly worth your time after taxes. Consistently working overtime can push you into a higher tax bracket for those pay periods. This calculator helps you see the gross benefit before you commit to extra hours, and is essential for verifying your employer is paying you correctly.
