Overtime Pay Calculator

A workweek for overtime purposes is legally defined as any fixed, recurring 168-hour period, seven consecutive 24-hour days, which doesn't actually have to align with a calendar Monday-to-Sunday week. That technical detail matters more than it seems for anyone on a rotating or non-standard schedule trying to figure out exactly which hours count toward the 40-hour threshold.

Not every employee qualifies for overtime either. Salaried professional, administrative, and executive roles that meet specific salary and job-duty thresholds are typically classified as exempt and don't legally require overtime compensation, a distinction worth knowing since "salaried" alone doesn't automatically mean exempt.

Enter your hourly rate, regular hours worked, and logged overtime hours. The calculator applies the standard 1.5 multiplier to overtime hours, or a custom rate if your situation uses one, and combines it with base pay for your total gross earnings.

Some employers or states pay double-time for holidays or hours beyond a certain daily threshold, and the multiplier here adjusts for that if it applies to your situation. This calculates gross pay specifically, before any tax withholding, since actual take-home will be lower once deductions apply. Your wage figures stay entirely private, calculated locally.
