Overtime Calculation Explained

Overtime is calculated based on the number of hours you work beyond your regular workweek. The standard workweek is typically 40 hours, but this can vary by industry and location.

Overtime Pay Formula

Overtime Pay = (Regular Pay Rate × Overtime Multiplier) × Overtime Hours

Total Pay = (Regular Pay Rate × Regular Hours) + Overtime Pay

Common overtime multipliers are:

1.5x - Time-and-a-half (common in many industries)
2x - Double time (common in healthcare and emergency services)

Note

Overtime laws vary by country and state. This calculator uses standard US overtime rules as a reference. Always check your local labor laws for accurate calculations.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the pay for an employee who works 45 hours in a week with a regular pay rate of $20/hour and a 1.5x overtime multiplier.

Regular hours: 40 hours
Overtime hours: 5 hours
Regular pay: $20 × 40 = $800
Overtime pay: ($20 × 1.5) × 5 = $150
Total pay: $800 + $150 = $950

Using our calculator with these inputs would show a total pay of $950.
