overtime pay how it is calculated
Under US federal law, most hourly employees get at least one and a half times their regular rate for each hour over 40 in a week. The calculator below can model a week with any hours and rate so you can play with the numbers.
The overtime premium is $100; the average comes to $22 an hour.
Five overtime hours add a $45 premium on top of $810 straight time.
The 15 overtime hours earn $675, 36% of the week's pay.
When a contract or state law sets 2x, the premium becomes the full regular rate.
Straight time of $920 plus a premium of 0.5 x $20.44 x 5 hours = $51.11.
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you are paid for in a year. For a full-time job that is 40 hours x 52 weeks = 2,080, so $25 an hour is $52,000. If you take unpaid time off, subtract those weeks first: with two unpaid weeks it is 2,000 hours and $50,000.
No. The FLSA covers non-exempt employees. Many salaried administrative, executive and professional roles are exempt if they meet the duties and salary tests set by the Department of Labor. When in doubt, ask your state labor department.
Federal law counts by workweek, over 40 hours. Some states, such as California, also count hours over a daily limit. This calculator works only with the weekly total.
If a 50-hour week at $20 repeats for 52 weeks, the year adds up to $57,200 instead of $41,600, a difference of $15,600. Use the option that sends the scenario to the Take-home pay tab to see the effect after tax.
Turn an hourly rate into a salary, or a salary into an hourly rate, for any schedule, with unpaid weeks, paid time off and benefits.
$25.00 an hour comes to $52,000 a year before taxes on your schedule.
All amounts are gross, before taxes. Open the Take-home pay tab for an estimate after tax.
