Overtime Calculation Methods

There are two common methods for calculating overtime pay:

Standard Overtime (1.5x Pay)

Standard overtime is calculated at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. This applies to hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the US.

Standard Overtime Pay = (Regular Hours + Overtime Hours) × Hourly Rate × 1.5

Double Overtime (2x Pay)

Double overtime is calculated at 2 times your regular hourly rate. This applies to hours worked beyond 8 in a single day under the FLSA.

Double Overtime Pay = (Regular Hours + Overtime Hours) × Hourly Rate × 2.0

Our calculator uses these standard formulas to provide accurate overtime pay calculations.

Worked Example

Let's calculate overtime pay for an employee who works 50 hours in a week at $15 per hour, with 10 hours of standard overtime.

Calculation Steps

Regular hours: 40 × $15 = $600
Standard overtime: 10 × $15 × 1.5 = $225
Total pay: $600 + $225 = $825

Total pay for this example is $825, with $225 coming from standard overtime.

This example shows how standard overtime increases your total pay beyond regular hours.
