Assumptions and formula

Federal rule: hours over 40 in the workweek are overtime, paid at one and a half times the regular rate; hours are not averaged across weeks. California rule (with daily hours): over 8 hours in a day up to 12 is overtime, over 12 is double time, regular hours past 40 in the week become overtime, and on the seventh consecutive day of work the first 8 hours are overtime and the rest double time.

The regular rate is the week’s straight-time pay plus any nondiscretionary bonus, divided by the hours worked (FLSA Fact Sheet #56A), so a bonus raises the overtime rate. Pay is straight time on every hour plus the premium: the multiplier less one, times the regular rate, on overtime and double-time hours. The federal overtime deduction for 2025 to 2028 counts only the half-time premium on hours over 40 that the FLSA requires, for the weeks a year you enter, up to $12,500; the federal income tax calculator applies the income phase-out.

Worked example

$25 an hour for 50 hours: 40 regular hours ($1,000) and 10 at $37.50 ($375), $1,375 for the week and $27.50 an hour on average. Fifty-two weeks like it pay $71,500, and $6,500 of the overtime premium counts for the federal deduction. In California, one 14-hour day pays 8 regular hours, 4 at $37.50 and 2 at $50: $450.

Frequently asked questions

What is time and a half for $25 an hour?

$37.50 an hour. Ten hours of it adds $375 to the week, so 50 hours at $25 pays $1,375.

How is overtime pay calculated?

Hours over 40 in a week are paid at one and a half times the regular rate. At $25 an hour, 50 hours pays 40 × $25 plus 10 × $37.50: $1,375 for the week, $27.50 an hour on average. The calculator splits the hours itself from your total or from each day’s hours.

What is time and a half for $20 an hour?

$30 an hour: $20 × 1.5. Double time is $40. Ten hours of time and a half at $20 adds $300 to the week, $100 more than the same hours at the regular rate.

How does overtime work in California?

Over 8 hours in a workday, and over 40 in a week, is paid at time and a half; over 12 hours in a day is double time. On the seventh consecutive day of a workweek, the first 8 hours are time and a half and the rest double time. A single 14-hour day at $25 pays $450: 8 regular hours, 4 at $37.50 and 2 at $50.

Does a bonus change my overtime rate?

Yes, if it is nondiscretionary, such as a production or attendance bonus. It is added to the week’s pay before dividing by the hours, so the regular rate rises. A $100 bonus in a 50-hour week at $25 lifts the regular rate to $27 and the overtime rate to $40.50.

Is overtime tax-free?

Not entirely. From 2025 to 2028 you can deduct the premium part of overtime the FLSA requires, the extra half on hours over 40, up to $12,500 a year ($25,000 joint), less above $150,000 of income. Ten hours of overtime a week at $25 is $6,500 of deductible premium a year. Social Security and Medicare tax still apply, and California’s daily overtime within a 40-hour week does not count.

Is this an overtime pay calculator or a time and a half calculator?

Both: an overtime calculator and overtime pay calculator for weekly or daily hours, a time and a half calculator and double time calculator, and a California overtime calculator. It is also a no tax on overtime calculator: it shows the overtime premium the deduction counts.

How do I figure overtime pay?

Multiply the hours over 40 in a week by 1.5 times your regular rate. At $20 an hour, 5 overtime hours pay $150. Overtime payment is taxed as ordinary wages, so the percentage withheld from it is the same as from regular pay.
