How the Overtime Calculator works

  1. Enter your standard hourly rate.
  2. Enter your regular hours for the period.
  3. Enter the hours worked beyond your regular threshold.
  4. 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.
