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.
