The results panel shows regular pay (hourly rate × regular hours), overtime pay (hourly rate × 1.5 × overtime hours), optional double-time and triple-time pay, and a grand total. You also see total hours worked so you can verify that your weekly hours align with your time sheet. Because currency formatting updates in real time, you can switch between USD, EUR, GBP, INR, or PKR without re-entering data.
To model taxes, export the gross totals into your payroll software or combine this tool with LiteCalc's tax and salary calculators. For tipped workers, overtime must be based on the full minimum wage before tips, so validate that your base rate covers any tip credit your state allows.
Standard overtime uses a 1.5x multiplier on your regular rate once you cross 40 hours in a workweek. The core formula is: Overtime Pay = (Hourly Rate × 1.5) × Overtime Hours. Double-time pay uses 2.0, and triple-time uses 3.0. Your total weekly pay equals regular pay plus each premium bucket.
Worked example: If you earn $22.50 per hour and work 46 hours, with 2 of those hours at double time, the calculator does the math: 40 hours × $22.50 = $900 regular pay; 4 overtime hours × ($22.50 × 1.5 = $33.75) = $135.00; 2 double-time hours × ($22.50 × 2 = $45.00) = $90.00. Total weekly pay = $900 + $135 + $90 = $1,125. If you add a holiday shift at triple time for 1 hour, that adds $67.50, bringing the total to $1,192.50.
Salary to hourly: divide annual salary by 52 weeks, then by 40 to find the regular hourly rate. Apply the same multipliers for overtime buckets. This keeps salaried non-exempt workers compliant with FLSA rules.
Federal overtime starts after 40 hours in a workweek, but states like California layer on daily overtime: 1.5x after 8 hours in a day, and 2x after 12. Alaska and Nevada have similar daily triggers. New York keeps the 40-hour weekly rule but enforces premium pay for certain service industries. If you work in California and log 10 hours a day for 5 days (50 total), the calculator can still help: place 10 extra daily hours as overtime and any 2+ hour segments past 12 as double time.
Tipped employees must calculate overtime on the full minimum wage before tips. For example, if the tipped minimum is $2.13 but the regular minimum is $7.25, overtime is based on $7.25 × 1.5, then the tip credit is subtracted according to state law. Always check your state's labor site for the latest thresholds and exemptions.

Get answers to common questions about overtime pay calculations
Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 and then multiply by the number of overtime hours. Add that to your regular pay for the week to see total gross wages.
$18.75 x 1.5 = $28.13 per overtime hour. Ten overtime hours would add $281.30 to your paycheck.
Yes. California requires 2x pay after 12 hours in a day and for hours beyond eight on the seventh consecutive workday. Enter those hours in the double-time field to model your paycheck.
No. Overtime is based on the full minimum wage before tips. Tip credits can be applied afterward where legal, so use your pre-tip rate when you enter the hourly amount.
Divide annual salary by 52, then by 40 to find the hourly base. Apply 1.5x or 2x multipliers to overtime hours. Enter that hourly base in the calculator for accurate totals.
Federal law triggers overtime after 40 weekly hours. Some states, like California and Alaska, also add daily overtime after 8 hours. Check your state rules to decide which threshold applies.
Take your annual salary, divide by 52, then by 40. That gives your regular hourly rate. Multiply by 1.5 for overtime and by 2 for double time.
New York follows the federal 40-hour weekly rule and requires most non-exempt employees to receive at least 1.5x for overtime hours.
Yes. Enter holiday premium hours in the double- or triple-time fields to see how they stack with your regular overtime.
Exempt status depends on your duties and salary threshold under the FLSA and state law. If you are non-exempt, you qualify for overtime. When unsure, ask HR or review your state labor site.
