- Enter your standard hourly rate.
- Enter your regular hours for the period.
- Enter the hours worked beyond your regular threshold.
- Set the overtime multiplier (1.5× is the common US default for time-and-a-half).
Formula / logic
Total pay = (Regular hours × hourly rate) + (Overtime hours × hourly rate × OT multiplier).
Worked example
At $20/hr with 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours at 1.5×: regular pay $800 + overtime pay $150 = $950 total.
Frequently asked questions
What is time-and-a-half?
Time-and-a-half means overtime hours are paid at 1.5 times your normal hourly rate — the U.S. federal standard for hours worked beyond 40 in a week.
How is overtime calculated?
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × multiplier. Regular pay is calculated separately and then added to the total.
What is the standard overtime multiplier?
1.5× ("time-and-a-half") is the most common rate; some employers or holidays use 2× ("double time") instead.
Does this calculator know my local overtime laws?
No — overtime rules vary by country, state, and industry. Enter the threshold and multiplier that apply to your situation.
Can I use this for salaried employees?
This tool is built for hourly pay. For salaried overtime you'd first need to convert salary into an equivalent hourly rate.
