US Overtime Pay Calculators by State
Calculate your overtime pay for any US state. Each state calculator includes FLSA regulations and state-specific overtime laws (including daily overtime requirements where applicable).
Overtime pay calculations in the United States combine federal FLSA regulations with state-specific laws, creating a complex landscape that varies significantly by location. While the federal standard requires time-and-a-half pay for hours over 40 per workweek, many states impose additional daily overtime requirements that can dramatically impact your earnings. Our state-specific overtime pay calculators help employees accurately calculate their overtime earnings by accounting for both FLSA rules and local regulations, ensuring you receive the full compensation you're legally entitled to.
A California worker earning $25/hour who works 10 hours in a single day receives daily overtime for hours 9-10, plus potential double-time if exceeding 12 hours, while a Texas employee with the same hourly rate and weekly hours only receives overtime after 40 weekly hours. Nevada workers benefit from daily overtime protection for shifts over 8 hours, and Colorado employees receive overtime pay for hours exceeding 12 in a single day. Each state calculator incorporates these location-specific variations, automatically applying the correct overtime multipliers and thresholds to deliver precise calculations that reflect your state's unique overtime laws and help you maximize your earnings.

Understanding State 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 all US states.
State-Specific Overtime Requirements
Some states have additional overtime requirements beyond the federal 40-hour weekly standard:
- California: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 8 hours per day, double time (2x) for over 12 hours per day
- Nevada: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 8 hours per day
- Alaska: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 8 hours per day
- Colorado: Daily overtime (1.5x) for over 12 hours per day
