This calculator covers federal FLSA overtime and California daily overtime rules. Other states (Alaska, Nevada, etc.) may have additional daily overtime requirements. Some employees are exempt from overtime under FLSA (salaried employees earning over $684/week in executive, administrative, or professional roles). Consult your state labor board or an employment attorney for jurisdiction-specific guidance.

1

Regular pay

regularPay = regularHours × hourlyRate

40.0 hrs × $25.00/hr

= $1,000

2

Overtime pay (1.5×)

overtimePay = overtimeHours × hourlyRate × 1.5

8.0 hrs × $25.00/hr × 1.5

= $300

FLSA requires 1.5× for all hours over 40 in a workweek.

3

Total gross pay

grossPay = regularPay + overtimePay + doubleTimePay

$1,000 + $300

= $1,300 (effective $27.08/hr)

Key insight

Overtime and double-time premiums represent 23% of your gross pay this week. Your effective hourly rate rises from $25.00/hr base to $27.08/hr overall — a 8% lift. Keep in mind that OT income is taxed at your marginal rate, not a flat rate.
