How this was calculated
  • Overtime rate: $20.00 × 1.5 = $30.00
  • Regular: $20.00 × 40 = $800.00
  • Overtime: $30.00 × 5 = $150.00
  • Double time: $40.00 × 0 = $0.00
  • Total: $950.00

How overtime pay is calculated

Overtime is paid at a higher rate than your regular wage. The most common rule is "time and a half" — 1.5× your normal hourly rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. This calculator shows the rate, the extra pay, and your total.

  1. Overtime rate = hourly wage × overtime multiplier
  2. Overtime pay = overtime rate × overtime hours
  3. Total pay = regular pay + overtime pay + double-time pay
Example: Jordan earns $24 an hour, works 40 regular hours, 8 overtime hours at 1.5× and 4 holiday hours at double time. Regular = $960. Overtime = $36 × 8 = $288. Double time = $48 × 4 = $192. Total = $1,440.

Common overtime multipliers

  • 1.5× — standard time and a half in the US, Canada and many contracts.
  • 2× — double time, often for holidays or hours beyond a daily limit.
  • 1.25× or 1.33× — used by some employers and countries.

Know your rights

Overtime rules vary by country, state and employment classification. In the US, federal law requires overtime for non-exempt employees after 40 hours a week, and some states, such as California, also require daily overtime. Check your contract or local labor department for the rules that apply to you.

Frequently asked questions

What is time and a half?

Time and a half means overtime is paid at 1.5× your normal hourly wage. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 an hour.

What is double time?

Double time is 2× your hourly wage, sometimes paid for holidays, very long shifts or under certain union contracts or state laws.

Are salaried employees paid overtime?

It depends on whether you are classified as exempt or non-exempt and on local law. Many salaried workers are exempt, but not all.

Is overtime taxed more?

Overtime is taxed as ordinary income. A larger paycheck may have more withheld, but the tax rate on the income itself is the same as other wages.
