Overtime Calculation Formula

Overtime Calculation

In Tennessee, overtime is calculated based on the number of hours worked in a workweek. Employees are entitled to overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular rate for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek.

Hours Worked	Pay Rate
Up to 40 hours	Regular rate
Over 40 hours	1.5 × Regular rate

Example Calculation

Let's say you work 45 hours in a week at $10 per hour. Your pay would be calculated as follows:

Example Calculation

Regular Hours: 40

Overtime Hours: 5

Regular Pay: $10 × 40 = $400

Overtime Pay: ($10 × 1.5) × 5 = $75

Gross Pay: $400 + $75 = $475

Net Pay: $475 - $50 (deductions) = $425
