US Overtime Pay Calculator – Calculate Your Overtime Pay
Calculate your overtime pay, regular pay, and total gross pay based on US overtime laws. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees receive 1.5x their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Understanding US Overtime Laws
Federal Overtime Rules (FLSA)
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that non-exempt employees receive overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. This applies to most hourly workers and some salaried employees who don't meet exemption criteria.
Overtime Calculation Example
If you earn $20/hour and work 45 hours in a week:
- Regular pay: 40 hours × $20 = $800
- Overtime hours: 45 - 40 = 5 hours
- Overtime rate: $20 × 1.5 = $30/hour
- Overtime pay: 5 hours × $30 = $150
- Total gross pay: $800 + $150 = $950
State-Specific Overtime Rules
Some states have additional overtime requirements beyond federal law:
- California: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 8 hours, double time (2x) for over 12 hours
- Nevada: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 8 hours
- Alaska: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 8 hours
- Colorado: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 12 hours
