Overtime Pay Calculator
Understanding Overtime Pay
Overtime pay is additional compensation for employees who work beyond a standard number of hours within a given workweek. In many countries, including the United States, federal and state laws mandate how overtime is calculated and when it must be paid.
What is a Standard Workweek?
For most non-exempt employees in the U.S., a standard workweek is defined as 40 hours. Any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek are typically considered overtime hours.
Common Overtime Rates
- Time-and-a-Half (1.5x): This is the most common overtime rate. It means an employee is paid 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for each overtime hour worked. For example, if your regular rate is $20/hour, your overtime rate would be $30/hour.
- Double Time (2x): In some cases, or under specific state laws or union contracts, employees might receive double their regular hourly rate for overtime hours. This is less common but can apply for work on holidays or after a certain number of hours in a day.
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is the federal law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting employees in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments. The FLSA requires employers to pay non-exempt employees at least 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
How Our Calculator Works
Our Overtime Pay Calculator simplifies the process of determining your gross weekly earnings, including overtime. Here's what each input means:
- Regular Hourly Rate: Your standard pay rate per hour before any overtime.
- Regular Hours Worked: The number of hours you worked at your standard rate, typically up to 40 hours per week.
- Overtime Hours Worked: The number of hours you worked beyond your regular schedule that qualify for overtime pay.
- Overtime Multiplier: This is the factor by which your regular hourly rate is multiplied for overtime hours. Use 1.5 for time-and-a-half, 2 for double time, or any other applicable multiplier.
Example Calculation
Let's say an employee has a regular hourly rate of $25. They worked 40 regular hours and 8 overtime hours at time-and-a-half (1.5x multiplier) in a week.
- Regular Pay: $25/hour * 40 hours = $1,000.00
- Overtime Rate: $25/hour * 1.5 = $37.50/hour
- Overtime Pay: $37.50/hour * 8 hours = $300.00
- Total Gross Pay: $1,000.00 (Regular) + $300.00 (Overtime) = $1,300.00
This calculator helps you quickly determine these figures, giving you a clear picture of your potential earnings.
