Overtime Rules

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states (California, Alaska, Nevada) also require daily overtime for hours over 8 per day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is overtime calculated?+
Overtime = hours over the threshold × 1.5× hourly rate. For example: 45 hours at $20/hr = 40 × $20 + 5 × $30 = $800 + $150 = $950 gross.
Can I use this for biweekly timecards?+
This calculator covers one 7-day week. For biweekly timecards, calculate each week separately and sum the results. Overtime is typically determined per workweek, not per pay period.
