How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Florida is:
Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked × Holiday Multiplier
Example: Florida Worker Holiday Pay
A worker in Florida earning $25/hour working 8 hours on a holiday:
- Holiday rate at 1.5x: $25 × 1.5 = $37.50/hour
- Holiday pay: $37.50 × 8 hours = $300.00
- Regular pay would be: $25 × 8 = $200.00
- Extra premium earned: $100.00
