Add overtime hours at time-and-a-half (or any multiplier) to find total gross pay for the period.
How the Overtime Pay Calculator works
Gross pay = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × multiplier). The default 1.5× is standard US time-and-a-half.
Example calculation
At $22/hour with 40 regular and 8 overtime hours at 1.5×, gross pay is about $1,144.
Tips for using the Overtime Pay Calculator
- Set the multiplier to 2.0 for double-time.
- Non-exempt US workers earn overtime beyond 40 hours/week.
- Overtime is taxed as normal income, not at a special rate.
