About this tool & how to use it

What it does

Enter your hourly rate and hours worked to see regular and overtime pay for the week, at time and a half or double time. A calculation, not a legal ruling.

How to use it

  1. Enter your regular hourly rate and the hours you worked in the week.
  2. Set the number of hours after which overtime starts (40 is common) and the overtime multiplier.
  3. Read the total first, then regular pay, overtime pay and the average pay per hour worked.

Often 40 in a workweek. Your employer, state rules or a contract may differ.

Assumptions

  • This multiplies the numbers you enter. It does not decide whether you are owed overtime: that depends on your job, whether you are exempt, your state and your contract.
  • It assumes one workweek and one overtime threshold. Some places add daily overtime or higher rates after more hours.
  • Figures are gross, before taxes and deductions.
  • The federal rule described is general; check your own rules with your employer or the U.S. Department of Labor or your state labor office.

Printed from oneclickanswers.com. Results are estimates based on what was entered; see the assumptions above.

How it works

Hours up to the threshold are paid at your regular rate. Hours past it are paid at your rate x the multiplier.

At $20 an hour and 46 hours with overtime after 40: 40 x $20 = $800, plus 6 x $30 = $180, for $980 in the week.

The average per hour is the week's pay divided by all hours worked. The yearly figure multiplies the week by 52 and assumes every week is the same.

Questions

How is overtime pay calculated?

Hours past the overtime threshold are paid at your regular rate times a multiplier, often 1.5 (time and a half). The rest are paid at your regular rate.

Am I owed overtime?

This page cannot say. Under U.S. federal law, covered employees who are not exempt must be paid at least time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek, but many jobs are exempt and states and contracts differ.

Does a salaried worker get overtime?

It depends on whether the job is exempt, which is about the duties and pay, not just being salaried. See the What Does Exempt Mean answer.
