Overtime Calculator
Calculate your regular pay, overtime pay, and total pay for a pay period based on hours worked and your overtime multiplier.
1.5 = time and a half
Total pay
$1,144.00
What Your Result Means
Total pay combines your regular hours at your normal rate plus your overtime hours at the boosted overtime rate. This shows exactly how much extra a given amount of overtime work is worth to your paycheck.
How It Is Calculated
Overtime Rate = Regular Rate × Multiplier
Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Regular Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate)
Worked Example
At $22/hour with 40 regular hours and 8 overtime hours at a 1.5x multiplier: regular pay is $880, overtime rate is $33/hour, overtime pay is $264, for a total of $1,144.
Important Assumptions
- Uses a single overtime multiplier - some jurisdictions have tiered rates (like double time after a threshold).
- Does not determine legal eligibility for overtime - overtime rules vary by location and job classification.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 'time and a half' mean?
- It means your overtime rate is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate - the most common overtime multiplier in the United States for eligible hourly workers.
- Does this calculator determine if I'm owed overtime?
- No - this tool only calculates pay based on the hours and multiplier you enter. It does not provide legal or payroll compliance guidance; check local labor laws or an HR professional for eligibility questions.
