This free overtime calculator estimates gross pay for one workweek. Enter an hourly rate and the hours worked to see regular pay, overtime pay at time and a half, and double time if you turn it on. It runs in your browser and stores nothing. The result is an estimate before taxes and deductions, not a payroll calculation.
Overtime hours are paid at 1.5 times the hourly rate. At $20 an hour and 45 hours in a week, 40 hours are regular pay ($800) and 5 hours are overtime at $30 an hour ($150), for $950 in total. That is the same math a time and a half calculator runs, with the regular and overtime hours shown separately.
The default follows the federal rule for covered, nonexempt employees: hours over 40 in a workweek count as overtime. The daily setting also counts hours over 8 in a day for states that use a daily threshold. Each hour is counted once, so daily overtime is not counted again as weekly overtime. If you need an overtime calculator for California, use the daily setting and check the state rules for double time.
Double time is off by default. Turn it on and set a threshold if your state or your company policy pays 2 times the hourly rate after a certain number of hours. The double time calculator then splits those hours out from regular and overtime hours.
The calculator shows gross pay only. It does not include taxes, deductions, bonuses, commissions or shift differentials, which can change the regular rate used for overtime. Rules vary by state, so treat the result as an estimate to check against your payroll provider.
It covers one workweek at a time. For a biweekly paycheck, run each workweek separately and add the totals. Overtime is counted within each workweek, so a short week does not cancel out overtime in the other. To total the hours first, use the time card calculator.
An estimate is useful for planning, but payroll needs the hours staff actually worked. With Cloud Time Manager, which is free, staff clock in on a phone or kiosk, overtime rules are applied as the week goes, and the totals export for payroll.
Multiply the hourly rate by 1.5 to get the overtime rate, then multiply that by the overtime hours. Add regular pay for the first 40 hours of the workweek. For example, $20 an hour for 45 hours is $800 regular pay plus $150 overtime, or $950 in total.
Time and a half is an overtime rate of 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. Under the federal rule, covered nonexempt employees earn it for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states also require it for hours over 8 in a day.
Federal overtime is counted by the workweek: hours over 40. A few states also count daily overtime, usually hours over 8 in a day, and some require double time after a longer day. Turn on the daily setting if your state uses it.
No. It estimates gross pay before taxes and deductions. Take-home pay depends on withholding, benefits and other deductions, so check the final figure with your payroll provider.
