Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Multiply your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier to get the overtime rate, then multiply by overtime hours. At $22 an hour, time and a half is $33, so 6 overtime hours pay $198. Add your regular pay (40 × $22 = $880) for a weekly gross of $1,078.
What is time and a half?
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. If you earn $20 an hour, each overtime hour pays $30.
When does overtime start in the US?
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees must get at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states add daily rules; California, for example, requires overtime after 8 hours in a day and double time after 12.
What is double time?
Double time is 2 times the regular rate. Federal law does not require it, but some states, union contracts and employers pay it for long days, the seventh consecutive day or holidays.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Some do. Salaried workers who are classified as non-exempt are entitled to overtime. Exempt status depends on the job duties and a minimum salary level, so being paid a salary alone does not make someone exempt.
Is overtime taxed more?
Overtime is taxed as regular income. It can look like more is withheld because a bigger paycheck is withheld at a higher rate, but the final tax depends on your total annual income. This calculator shows gross pay before taxes and deductions.
