Overtime Calculator
Estimate overtime and total weekly earnings.
What this overtime calculator does
Estimate regular pay, overtime pay and total weekly gross earnings from an hourly rate and overtime hours.
How to use the calculator
Enter the regular hourly rate, regular hours and overtime hours. The calculator uses the overtime multiplier you provide, so check whether your employer or applicable law uses a different rule.
How the calculation works
Overtime pay is modeled as hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours. Total gross pay combines regular earnings and modeled overtime earnings.
What the result means
The number shown is best used as a planning estimate. Change one assumption at a time to see which inputs have the largest effect. For financial decisions, compare the result with current statements, lender disclosures, employer information or other authoritative records.
Important assumptions and limitations
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act generally uses time-and-a-half for covered nonexempt employees after 40 hours in a workweek, but exemptions and state rules can differ. Use your employer’s payroll rules for an actual paycheck.
