The overtime pay calculator instantly calculates your regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross earnings for any pay period. Whether you are checking if your paycheck is accurate or planning how many hours to work, this tool gives you clear, immediate answers.
How It Works
Regular pay is calculated as Hourly Wage × Regular Hours. Overtime pay is Hourly Wage × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) requires 1.5x pay for hours over 40 per week, though some employers offer higher multipliers like 2x for holidays.
Regular Pay = Hourly Wage × Regular Hours
Overtime Pay = Hourly Wage × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours
Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
