Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is overtime pay calculated?

Overtime pay = your regular hourly rate × your overtime multiplier × overtime hours worked. Total pay adds that to your regular pay for the period.

What overtime multiplier should I use?

1.5x (“time and a half”) is the most common and the federal minimum under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for eligible non-exempt employees. Some employers or union contracts use 2.0x (“double time”) for holidays or extended hours.

Who qualifies for overtime pay?

Generally, non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek under the FLSA. Rules vary by state and job classification — this calculator doesn't determine eligibility, only the math once you know your hours.

Is this the same in every state?

Base federal overtime rules apply nationwide, but some states (like California) have daily overtime rules too. Check your state labor department for specifics.
