How Overtime Pay Works
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5x their regular hourly rate ("time and a half") for every hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Your overtime pay is simply: overtime hours × (rate × multiplier).
Example: $25/hour, 40 regular + 10 overtime hours
| Regular pay (40 × $25) | $1,000 |
| Overtime rate ($25 × 1.5) | $37.50 |
| Overtime pay (10 × $37.50) | $375 |
| Total weekly pay | $1,375 |
State rules can be stricter
Federal law only requires overtime after 40 hours/week, but states can add rules. California, for instance, requires daily overtime after 8 hours and double time after 12. Always check your state's labor rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime pay calculated?
Overtime pay is your hourly rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5, "time and a half") for each overtime hour. For example, at $25/hour with 10 overtime hours, your overtime rate is $37.50 and overtime pay is $375, on top of your regular pay.
When does overtime apply under federal law?
Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5x their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states (like California) also require daily overtime after 8 hours, and double time in certain cases.
What is double time?
Double time is 2x your regular hourly rate. It is not required by federal law but is common in union contracts and required by some states (e.g. California for hours beyond 12 in a day). Set the multiplier to 2x to calculate it.
Is overtime taxed more?
No. Overtime pay is taxed at the same rates as regular pay. It can feel like more is withheld because the extra income temporarily pushes a paycheck into a higher withholding bracket, but it evens out when you file.
