Overtime Calculator

This overtime calculator turns an hourly rate and overtime hours into time-and-a-half, double-time, and weekly gross pay.

Regular (straight-time) hourly wage. Must be greater than zero.

Time and a half is 1.5. Change only if your employer uses a different premium.

Hours entry

FLSA-style default: hours over 40 in a workweek are overtime.

All hours worked in the workweek, including overtime.

Hours at the regular rate before OT. Federal weekly OT is typically 40.

Hours paid at 2×, taken from time over the threshold. Leave 0 if none.

Weekly gross

Regular pay
$800.00
Overtime pay
$150.00
Weekly gross
$950.00

40 regular hours at $20.00 · 5 OT hours at $30.00. Gross pay only — not taxes, not payroll, and not legal advice.

How to use

  1. Enter the hourly rate.
  2. Enter regular hours and overtime hours, or total hours so hours over 40 count as overtime.
  3. Set double-time hours if your employer pays 2×. Read gross pay. Taxes are not taken out.

Formula

Regular pay = regular hours × hourly rate. Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5. Double-time pay = double-time hours × hourly rate × 2. Weekly gross is the sum. This matches a simple FLSA-style week, not every state daily-overtime rule.

Example. At $20 an hour, 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours pay $800 + $150 = $950 gross. The overtime rate is $30 an hour.

Frequently asked questions

What is time and a half?

Overtime pay at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. $20/hour becomes $30/hour OT.

When does overtime start?

Under federal FLSA, nonexempt employees generally earn OT after 40 hours in a workweek. Some states also require daily OT.

Does this include taxes?

No. It shows gross pay only.

Can I set double time?

Yes. Use the 2× multiplier for hours your employer treats as double time.

Is this official DOL guidance?

No. For FLSA details see the Department of Labor. This page does the arithmetic only.
