Calculate your weekly overtime pay in seconds. Enter your rate and hours — regular, time-and-a-half, and double-time — for your total gross, with 2026 FLSA rules explained.
Enter your hourly rate and hours for the week. Overtime (over 40 hrs) is paid at 1.5×; double time (some states/contracts) at 2×.
Gross (pre-tax) weekly pay. For after-tax take-home across all 50 states, use the hourly paycheck calculator.
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most hourly (non-exempt) employees must be paid 1.5× their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. That’s “time and a half.” Overtime is calculated per workweek, not per pay period, so a bi-weekly check can contain two separate weekly overtime totals.
Overtime pay = regular rate × 1.5 × overtime hours
Weekly gross = regular pay + overtime pay + double-time pay
| Regular rate | Time & a half (1.5×) | Double time (2×) |
|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $22.50 | $30.00 |
| $18.00 | $27.00 | $36.00 |
| $20.00 | $30.00 | $40.00 |
| $22.00 | $33.00 | $44.00 |
| $25.00 | $37.50 | $50.00 |
| $30.00 | $45.00 | $60.00 |
| $35.00 | $52.50 | $70.00 |
| $40.00 | $60.00 | $80.00 |
Federal law counts overtime weekly (over 40 hrs). Some states add daily overtime: California and Colorado pay 1.5× after 8 hours in a day, and California pays double time after 12 hours in a day (and after 8 hours on the 7th consecutive workday). Alaska and Nevada also have daily rules. Where state and federal both apply, you get whichever is greater. See our overtime rules by state guide.
No — overtime is taxed as ordinary income at your normal brackets. A big overtime week can look over-withheld on a single check, but it reconciles at tax time, and the 2025–2028 “No Tax on Overtime” deduction can lower the federal tax on the premium portion. Full explainer →

Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 to get the overtime rate, then multiply by your overtime hours (hours over 40 in the week). Add that to your regular pay for total gross. The calculator above does it instantly.
Under federal law, overtime is any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. Some states (California, Colorado, Alaska, Nevada) also count over 8 hours in a day.
Double time is 2× your regular rate. It is not required by federal law — it comes from state rules (like California’s daily overtime) or an employer/union contract.
No. Overtime is ordinary income taxed at your normal brackets. Withholding on a large check can look high but reconciles at filing; the OBBBA overtime deduction can reduce federal tax on the premium portion for 2025–2028.
