Overtime Pay Formula

Regular Pay = regular hours × hourly rate Overtime Pay = OT hours × (hourly rate × 1.5) Double Time = DT hours × (hourly rate × 2.0) Total Gross Pay = Regular + Overtime + Double Time Effective Hourly Rate = Total Gross / Total Hours

Federal Overtime Law (FLSA)

The Fair Labor Standards Act requires most employers to pay non-exempt employees at least 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. There is no federal requirement for daily overtime, but several states (California, Alaska, Nevada) mandate it for hours over 8 per day.

Overtime Examples

$30/hr$45.00/hr$60.00/hr

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for overtime pay?+
Non-exempt employees under the FLSA are eligible for overtime. Exempt employees (typically salaried professionals, executives, and administrative employees earning over $684/week) are generally not entitled to overtime pay.
When does double time apply?+
Double time (2× rate) is required in California for hours over 12 in a single day, or for all hours on the 7th consecutive day of work in a workweek. Most other states and federal law don't mandate double time.
