Overtime Calculator – Hourly Wage & Overtime Pay
Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, and overtime hours to see regular pay, OT pay, and your total.
Figuring overtime shouldn’t require a spreadsheet. Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, and OT hours — this overtime calculator shows regular pay, overtime pay, and your total gross wages instantly.
The math is straightforward: regular pay = rate × regular hours; overtime pay = rate × multiplier × OT hours; total = regular + overtime. Money amounts are rounded to the nearest cent. Change the multiplier when your job pays double time or another OT rate.
Results are gross pay only — not take-home. For percent-based raises or deductions, try the Percentage Calculator. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
How to use
- Enter your hourly wage (before taxes).
- Type regular hours worked, then overtime hours.
- Confirm the overtime multiplier (1.5× is the default; change it if your job pays double time or another rate).
- Read regular pay, overtime pay, and total pay. Use Reset to clear everything.
Tips
- In the US, federal overtime is typically time-and-a-half (1.5×) for hours over 40 in a workweek — but some employers use daily OT rules or different multipliers.
- This calculator shows gross pay before taxes, benefits, or deductions.
- If you get double time on holidays or after a certain daily threshold, set the multiplier to 2.
- Keep separate rows for regular OT (1.5×) and double time if you have both in the same period — run the calculator twice and add the totals.
FAQ
How is overtime pay calculated?
Regular pay = hourly rate × regular hours. Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours. Total = regular pay + overtime pay. Amounts are rounded to the nearest cent.
What is a standard overtime multiplier?
Most US hourly jobs use 1.5× (time and a half) for overtime. Some contracts or jurisdictions pay 2× (double time) for holidays, Sundays, or hours beyond a daily limit.
Does this include taxes or take-home pay?
No — results are gross wages only. Taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and other deductions are not subtracted.
What counts as regular vs. overtime hours?
That depends on your employer and local law. Federally in the US, non-exempt employees usually earn OT after 40 hours in a workweek. Enter whatever hours your pay stub treats as regular and OT.
Can I use this for salaried overtime?
If you know your equivalent hourly rate (salary ÷ hours in your pay period), yes. Plug that rate in along with OT hours and the multiplier your employer uses.
Why might my paycheck differ from this total?
Pay stubs may round differently, blend shift differentials, or apply different OT rules. Use this as a check against your hours — not as a substitute for your employer’s payroll system.
