Overtime Pay Calculator
Non-exempt workers earn time and a half — 1.5x their hourly rate — for every hour over 40 in a week. This calculator shows your weekly, biweekly, and annual pay with overtime.
How this calculator works
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees must be paid 1.5x their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The calculator pays your regular hours at your normal rate and overtime hours at 1.5x, then scales the weekly total to biweekly and annual figures. Some states and union agreements require double time (2x) for certain hours or days — check your state's rules if you routinely work long shifts.
Frequently asked questions
What is time and a half?
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate — the federal minimum overtime rate under the FLSA. Overtime applies to hours over 40 in a single workweek, not per day.
Am I exempt from overtime?
Executive, administrative, and professional roles are exempt if salaried above the threshold ($43,888/year in 2026) and passing their duties test. Hourly and most non-exempt workers are entitled to overtime. Check your classification with your employer or state labor office.
Does overtime affect my tax refund?
Overtime is ordinary income — it increases your withholding and taxable income, so your refund may change slightly. It can also bump you into a higher marginal bracket, but only the portion of overtime above the bracket line is taxed higher.
