About the Overtime Pay Calculator
In the US, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires non-exempt employees to get at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. From 2025 to 2028, the US also lets eligible workers deduct up to $12,500 ($25,000 joint) of the overtime premium from federal taxable income. Other countries set overtime by law or contract.
The formula
Pay = rate × regular hours + rate × multiplier × overtime hours
Worked example
Example: Total pay = $1,341.60

- Formula: Pay = rate × regular hours + rate × multiplier × overtime hours
- Result: Total pay = $1,341.60
