The Overtime Calculator separates a paycheck into the hours paid at your normal rate and the hours paid at a premium. Enter your base hourly rate, your regular hours, your overtime hours, and the overtime multiplier such as time and a half or double time, and it returns your regular pay, overtime pay, the boosted overtime rate, and the grand total for the period.
Formula
regularPay = rate × regHrs; otRate = rate × mult; otPay = otRate × otHrs; total = regularPay + otPay
- rate
- Base hourly wage
- regHrs
- Hours paid at the base rate
- otHrs
- Hours paid at the overtime rate
- mult
- Overtime multiplier (1.5, 2, 3, …)
How it works
- Enter your base hourly rate and the number of regular hours worked at that rate.
- Enter your overtime hours and pick a multiplier chip: 1.5× (time and a half), 2× (double time), or 3× (triple time).
- Regular pay is rate times regular hours; the overtime rate is your base rate times the multiplier; overtime pay is that rate times overtime hours; the two add up to total pay.
Worked example
A worker earns $20/hour, logs 40 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at time and a half.
- Regular pay = 20 × 40 = $800.00.
- Overtime rate = 20 × 1.5 = $30.00/hour.
- Overtime pay = 30 × 10 = $300.00.
- Total = 800 + 300 = $1,100.00.
Regular $800, overtime $300, total $1,100 for the period.
Frequently asked questions
- What overtime multiplier should I use?
- Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states or contracts add double time for very long days or holidays, so choose the multiplier your employer applies.
- Are overtime hours over 40 per week or over 8 per day?
- Federal law counts hours over 40 in a workweek. A few states such as California also require daily overtime past 8 hours. This calculator works from whatever overtime hour count you enter, so apply your local rule first.
- Does this calculator include taxes?
- No. It computes gross overtime and total pay before any deductions. To estimate take-home pay after federal tax and FICA, use a paycheck or take-home pay calculator.
- How is the overtime rate calculated?
- The overtime rate is your base hourly rate multiplied by the chosen multiplier. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 an hour and double time is $40 an hour.
