Calculate your total weekly pay including overtime. Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, and overtime multiplier.
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires time-and-a-half pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek for eligible employees. This calculator shows how overtime affects your paycheck, including the impact on tax withholding and annual income projections.
This overtime pay calculator computes total weekly earnings by separating pay into two components: regular hours paid at the standard hourly rate, and overtime hours paid at the regular rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier (defaulting to 1.5x, or time-and-a-half, as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act for non-exempt employees). The methodology is additive: (regular hours × hourly rate) + (overtime hours × hourly rate × overtime multiplier) = total weekly pay. The FLSA mandates a minimum 1.5x multiplier for hours exceeding 40 per workweek for non-exempt workers, though some employers offer double time (2x) for weekends, holidays, or hours beyond a certain threshold, and some states have stricter overtime rules. Use this calculator to estimate take-home pay when working overtime, compare the financial value of overtime opportunities against time off, or evaluate whether a salary bump actually compensates fairly for increased hours. Key limitations include no accounting for tax withholding on overtime income (which may push marginal earnings into higher brackets), no recognition of caps on overtime hours in some labor agreements, and no adjustment for the fact that some workers are classified as exempt and ineligible for overtime pay regardless of hours worked.
Result: Regular pay: 40 × $25 = $1,000. Overtime pay: 10 × $25 × 1.5 = $375. Total weekly pay: $1,375. Effective hourly rate: $1,375 ÷ 50 hours = $27.50/hour — a 10% premium for working 10 extra hours.
