How Overtime Pay Works

Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond your standard workweek. Most jurisdictions require overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, but rules vary by country and employment contract.

There are different types of overtime pay:

1.5x Overtime: Typically paid for hours worked between 40 and 50 in a workweek.
2x Overtime: Paid for hours worked beyond 50 in a workweek.
Holiday Pay: Additional pay for working on a holiday, often paid at a higher rate.

Overtime Pay Formula

Overtime Pay = Hourly Wage × Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours

For example, if your hourly wage is $20 and you work 5 hours of 1.5x overtime:

$20 × 1.5 × 5 = $150

Overtime pay is important for understanding your total earnings and ensuring you're paid correctly according to labor laws.

Worked Examples

Example 1: 1.5x Overtime

You work 45 hours in a week at $18/hour. Your regular pay is 40 hours × $18 = $720. Your overtime pay is 5 hours × $18 × 1.5 = $135. Your total pay is $720 + $135 = $855.

Example 2: 2x Overtime

You work 55 hours in a week at $22/hour. Your regular pay is 40 hours × $22 = $880. Your overtime pay is 15 hours × $22 × 2 = $660. Your total pay is $880 + $660 = $1,540.

Example 3: Holiday Pay

You work on a holiday and earn $25/hour. If you work 8 hours, your holiday pay is 8 hours × $25 × 2 = $400.
