Calculate your overtime pay at time-and-a-half or double time, see your total weekly pay, your overtime hourly rate, and your annualized income.
Under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, most hourly employees must be paid at least time and a half — 1.5 times their regular rate — for hours worked beyond 40 in a week. Some employers or union contracts pay double time for holidays or excessive hours. Your overtime pay is simply your overtime hours multiplied by your overtime rate.
Overtime rules apply to non-exempt employees — generally hourly workers. Salaried employees in certain executive, administrative, or professional roles above a salary threshold are usually exempt. Overtime is calculated weekly, not by pay period, so working 50 hours one week and 30 the next still earns 10 hours of overtime for the first week.
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. If you earn $25 an hour, your overtime rate is $37.50 an hour. It's the federal minimum overtime rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees.
Multiply your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5) to get your overtime rate, then multiply by your overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay for your total. This calculator does it instantly and annualizes the result.
No, overtime is taxed at the same rates as regular income. It can feel like more is withheld because the extra pay may push that paycheck into a higher withholding bracket, but your actual tax rate depends on your total annual income, not the overtime alone.
