Gross OT math uses your entered rate × hours × multipliers. U.S. FLSA generally requires 1.5× after 40 hours/week for non-exempt employees—confirm exemption status and state daily rules with HR.
Overtime pay is the premium you earn on hours above your employer's threshold—often 40 hours per week in the United States at time-and-a-half (1.5× your base rate).
Regular pay = hourly rate × regular hours (up to the threshold). Overtime pay = hourly rate × multiplier × overtime hours. When double-time applies, those hours use a 2× multiplier instead of 1.5×.
This calculator supports weekly totals (enter total hours or split regular/OT), daily overtime mode (per-day thresholds such as 8h OT / 12h double-time), region presets, pay frequency scaling, and optional rough net-pay estimates. Results are gross planning figures—not payroll, tax, or legal advice.
All math runs locally in your browser; wage inputs are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.
Gross total = (rate × regular hours) + (rate × multiplier × OT hours) + double-time pay when applicable.
Regular pay plus overtime premium; double-time hours use 2× when enabled.
Formula
Regular pay = rate × regular hours
OT pay = rate × multiplier × OT hours (not double-time)
Double-time pay = rate × 2 × double-time hours
Total gross = regular + OT + double-timeType your gross hourly wage and total hours this week. The tool auto-splits regular vs OT after the 40h threshold (US default).
Keep 1.5× for time-and-a-half or enter 2× for double-time policies. Enable double-time hours if OT and 2× overlap.
Review regular pay, overtime pay, total gross, and optional period scaling (biweekly/monthly). Copy the summary for records.
Pick a region preset for threshold defaults, or enable daily overtime to split reg/OT/double-time per shift before summing the week.

State rules change and vary by occupation. This table is for planning—not legal advice.
Non-exempt employees generally must receive 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Enter your actual rate and hours here for gross planning—this tool does not determine exempt vs non-exempt status; confirm classification with HR.
California, Alaska, Colorado, and Nevada (among others) may require daily overtime before weekly thresholds. Switch to daily mode, enter Mon–Sun hours, set 8h/12h thresholds, and enable greater-of to compare daily vs weekly gross pay.
Divide annual gross salary by weeks worked per year and expected hours per week (often 52 and 40). Use Salary mode in the calculator. If you are salaried exempt, you may not be owed overtime—verify with HR before relying on an OT estimate.
Night, weekend, and hazard pay often adds a flat +$/hr on top of base wages. Enter shift differential under Currency & pay period so regular, overtime, and double-time all use the correct effective rate—not just the posted base wage.
Union contracts and employer policies sometimes pay premium multipliers on specific calendar days. Set a day to Holiday or Sunday in the grid and adjust the holiday multiplier (default 2×) to model those premiums on OT and double-time hours for that day only.
In California, the seventh consecutive workday in a workweek can trigger 1.5× on the first 8 hours and 2× beyond 8—with no regular hours on that day. Check the box when Mon–Sun all have hours in the grid to approximate that schedule.
Enter gross from your paycheck in Compare to pay stub to see the dollar gap instantly. Differences often come from rounding, blended OT rates (bonuses), or employer-specific rules—not from a wrong hourly rate you entered.
When both daily and weekly OT rules could apply, employers owe the method that pays more. Enable greater-of in daily grid mode to see which rule wins before you dispute a paycheck or plan a heavy shift week.
Overtime pay is calculated on gross wages before taxes and benefits. Optional take-home mode is a rough planning slider—use gross totals for OT math and your actual pay stub or payroll portal for withholding.
Before talking to payroll or HR, export a summary of rate, hours, and gross breakdown. Share links encode your inputs for one-click replay—useful when reconciling a single pay period without re-entering data.
Only hours above the threshold get the multiplier. 45h at $20 with 40h threshold → 40×$20 + 5×$30, not 45×$30.
Use gross totals for planning; confirm taxes and benefits on your real pay stub.
Presets are references—confirm daily OT, comp time, and salaried exemptions with HR.

Multiply overtime hours by hourly rate × 1.5, then add regular pay (rate × regular hours). Example: $22/hr, 42h week, 40h threshold → 40×$22 + 2×$33 = $946 gross.
Default results are gross pay before taxes. Optional take-home mode applies approximate tax and deduction percentages for planning only—not payroll or withholding advice.
Yes, if you know your effective hourly rate. Convert annual salary to hourly using the salary-to-hourly calculator, then enter that rate here. Salaried exempt employees may not receive overtime—confirm with HR.
Total gross = (hourly rate × regular hours) + (hourly rate × OT multiplier × OT hours) + (hourly rate × 2 × double-time hours). Example: $20/hr, 45h week, 40h threshold, 1.5× → $800 regular + $150 OT = $950 gross.
Use daily mode with per-day hour entry and 8h/12h thresholds to approximate daily OT and double-time. Enable greater-of to compare daily vs weekly OT pay. Confirm exact rules with your employer or state labor agency.
Enter hourly rate and total hours. Overtime pay = rate × 1.5 × OT hours (typical). Example: $22/hr with 5 OT hours → $165 overtime pay, plus regular pay for the first 40 hours.
No. Calculations run locally in your browser. Wage inputs are saved in your device localStorage and share URLs only when you copy a link—they are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.
Yes. Enable double-time hours for a 2× subset of OT, or use daily mode with a double-time threshold (e.g. after 12 hours in a day). Do not confuse this with setting the OT multiplier to 2× for all overtime hours.
The overtime hours calculator splits how many hours are regular vs OT. This page converts those hours into dollar pay using your rate and multiplier.
Yes—open Currency & pay period to scale the weekly gross estimate to biweekly, monthly, or yearly equivalents for budgeting.
Time-and-a-half OT rate = $22 × 1.5 = $33 per overtime hour. Five OT hours earn $165 in overtime pay, plus regular pay for the first 40 hours.
Enter annual gross salary, weeks worked per year (usually 52), and hours per week used to derive your rate (usually 40). The tool computes hourly rate = salary ÷ weeks ÷ hours, then applies overtime rules to your hours worked.
Non-exempt salaried workers may still qualify for overtime when they work over the threshold. Exempt employees (often meeting salary and duties tests) generally do not receive OT. This calculator does not determine your classification—ask HR.
When both daily and weekly overtime rules apply, employers pay the method that yields higher gross OT compensation. Enable greater-of in daily grid mode to compare daily vs weekly OT pay side by side.
Yes. Use Copy for a text summary, CSV for spreadsheet import, or Print for a paper record. All exports reflect your current inputs and stay on your device until you share a link.
Pay stubs may use different rounding, blended overtime rates (including bonuses), pre-tax deductions, or employer-specific daily rules. Enter your stub gross in Compare to pay stub to see the dollar difference instantly.
1.5× (time-and-a-half) is the common U.S. federal minimum OT premium. Double-time (2×) applies to specific hours—often after 12 hours in a day in California, or via union contract. Use double-time hours or daily thresholds, not the global multiplier alone.
In daily grid mode, set a day to Holiday or Sunday to apply your holiday multiplier (default 2×) to that day's overtime and double-time hours. Use Currency & pay period or the grid to adjust the holiday multiplier.
Shift differential is extra hourly pay for nights, weekends, or hazardous shifts. Enter +$/hr under Currency & pay period — it adds to your base rate for all regular, OT, and double-time calculations.
When you work all seven days in a row (Mon–Sun in the daily grid), California treats the 7th day specially: the first 8 hours are overtime at 1.5× and hours beyond 8 are double-time. Enable CA 7th-day rule in daily grid mode when planning that schedule.
Calculations run in your browser—wage inputs are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers during normal use.
Gross pay follows the formula you enter (rate × hours × multipliers). Employer rounding, comp time, and exemptions may differ.
Gross pay estimates for planning only—not payroll processing, tax filing, or legal advice. Confirm overtime rules with your employer. Financial results are estimates for planning only — not tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify with your employer, institution, or a qualified professional.
