How the calculator works
- Each shift's hours are its end time minus its start time, minus your unpaid break. A shift that ends after midnight counts on the day it started. If your employer's workday starts at another time, your result can differ a little.
- Daily overtime and double time come first, where your state has them, then any seventh-day or premium-day rule.
- Weekly overtime counts only the hours not already paid at a premium. So no hour is paid twice, and you always get the greater of daily or weekly overtime.
- With two rates or a bonus, overtime is based on your regular rate for the week: all your pay divided by all your hours, as federal rules require.
The result is pay before taxes. It is an estimate of what the law requires, not legal advice. A union contract or your employer's policy can pay more.
Who does not get overtime
- Most salaried office, management and professional jobs are exempt from overtime if they pay a salary of at least $684 a week ($35,568 a year) and the job duties meet the federal tests. Being paid a salary alone does not make you exempt.
- In 2024 the Department of Labor raised that salary level, but a federal court in Texas struck the rule down on November 15, 2024. On May 15, 2026 the Department formally put the $684 level back in its rules. The highly paid employee level is $107,432 a year.
- Some states set a higher salary level or stricter tests than federal law, so check your state's rules if you are on a salary.
- Other common exemptions include outside sales jobs, some computer jobs, many farm jobs, and some workers at seasonal amusement businesses. Independent contractors are not covered, but being called a contractor does not decide it.
- Hourly workers almost always get overtime, whatever their job title.
Common questions
How is overtime calculated?
Under federal law, every hour over 40 in a workweek is paid at 1.5 times your regular rate. At $20 an hour that is $30 for each overtime hour, so a 45-hour week pays $800 for the first 40 hours plus $150 for the other 5, or $950.
Is there daily overtime?
Not under federal law. California, Alaska, Nevada and Colorado have daily overtime, and Oregon has it in mills, factories and manufacturing. Everywhere else, only hours over 40 in the week count.
Do I get extra pay for working on a holiday or weekend?
Not under federal law. The Fair Labor Standards Act does not require holiday pay, extra pay for weekends or nights, or double time. Some employers pay more by policy or contract, and Rhode Island requires time and a half for Sunday and holiday work in retail and many other jobs.
Can my employer average my hours over two weeks?
No. Each workweek stands alone. If you work 30 hours one week and 50 the next, you are owed 10 hours of overtime for the second week, even if you are paid every two weeks.
How is overtime worked out with two pay rates or a bonus?
Your regular rate for the week is all your pay, including promised bonuses, divided by all your hours. Each overtime hour then gets half of that regular rate on top of the straight-time pay you already earned. For example, 46 hours at $12 plus a $46 bonus is a $13 regular rate, so the week pays $637.
Do salaried workers get overtime?
Some do. A salaried worker gets overtime unless the job meets an exemption, which usually needs a salary of at least $684 a week and duties that are mainly executive, administrative or professional.
