About the Overtime Calculator
At $25 an hour, 40 regular hours and 10 overtime hours pay $1,375.00: $1,000.00 regular plus $375.00 at time and a half. The overtime calculator multiplies the overtime hours by 1.5 and the double-time hours by 2 unless you change either multiplier, and the result is gross pay before tax.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I calculate overtime pay?
- Multiply the hourly rate by the overtime hours and by 1.5, then add the regular pay. At $25 an hour, 10 overtime hours pay $375.00, and with 40 regular hours worth $1,000.00 the total is $1,375.00.
- How do I calculate overtime if I am paid a salary?
- If you are salaried but not exempt, turn the salary into an hourly rate first: the weekly salary divided by the hours it is meant to cover. A $52,000 salary for 40-hour weeks is $1,000 a week, or $25 an hour, so 10 overtime hours pay $375.00 on top. The Department of Labor’s example: $405 for a fixed 45-hour week is a $9.00 regular rate, and since the salary already covers those 45 hours, the 5 hours over 40 are owed only the extra half rate.
- Is double time required by law?
- Not under federal law. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires at least one and one-half times the regular rate for covered, non-exempt employees for hours over 40 in a workweek and sets no double-time rate. Double time comes from an employer’s policy, a contract or a state rule, so check which applies to you. If yours pays a different rate, such as 2.5 on holidays, type it in the double-time multiplier box.
- Does the calculator work out which hours are overtime, for example in California?
- No. You enter the hours for each rate. Under the federal rule, a 50-hour workweek is 40 regular and 10 overtime hours. California also counts by the day: hours over 8 and up to 12 in a workday are time and a half, hours over 12 are double time, and the seventh consecutive workday has its own rule. Add up the week’s hours at each rate, count each hour once, and type the totals into the three boxes.
- Can I average my hours over two weeks?
- Under the federal rule, no. The Department of Labor says overtime is figured within each workweek, a fixed period of 168 hours. Calculate each workweek on its own and add the totals.
- Is the result my take-home pay?
- No. It is gross pay at the rates shown. Tax and other deductions are not taken off, and the tool adds no bonuses or shift differentials itself. Enter the FLSA regular rate (which can include non-discretionary bonuses and differentials), not just base pay, if they apply to you.
