Overtime Pay Calculator

Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours. Under US federal law (FLSA), the multiplier is at least 1.5 for hours over 40/week. Example: $20/hr × 1.5 × 10 hrs = $300 overtime pay.

For most workers, overtime has historically been taxed at the same marginal income tax rate as regular wages. However, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 2025) established a federal deduction for overtime pay starting with tax year 2025, meaning qualifying workers can deduct overtime wages from their federal taxable income.

Most hourly (non-exempt) employees in the US must receive at least 1.5× pay for hours beyond 40/week under the FLSA. Exempt employees (certain salaried positions) may not be entitled to overtime. Check your state laws too.

Double time means you earn 2× your regular hourly rate. It is not federally required but is common for holidays, and is legally required in some states like California for hours over 12 in a day.
