Calculation notes

Understand the Overtime pay calculator

Premium hours = max(total weekly hours − threshold, 0). Weekly gross pay = non-premium hours × regular rate + premium hours × regular rate × overtime multiplier. Annualize using the entered weeks. The calculation runs locally and keeps cash-flow timing consistent with the stated assumptions.

Formula and logic

How is weekly overtime pay calculated at time-and-a-half?

Premium hours = max(total weekly hours − threshold, 0). Weekly gross pay = non-premium hours × regular rate + premium hours × regular rate × overtime multiplier. Annualize using the entered weeks.

Worked example

What weekly pay is $25 an hour with 40 regular and 10 overtime hours?

At $25 an hour, 40 regular hours and 10 extra hours with a 40-hour threshold and 1.5 multiplier pay $1,000 regular plus $375 overtime, for $1,375 weekly gross pay.

How to read the result

Does the federal 40-hour overtime default apply to every worker?

  • Federal defaults apply to covered nonexempt employees; not everyone is eligible for overtime.
  • Enter the applicable threshold and multiplier if your contract or rules differ.
Limits and assumptions

Does this overtime calculator automatically apply state daily overtime laws?

  • This is a simple hourly, weekly model, not a determination of legal entitlement. It does not implement state daily overtime, double time, exemptions, bonuses in the regular-rate calculation, or special industry rules.
