Overtime Pay Formula
Examples
$20/hr, 40 regular hours, 10 overtime hours (1.5x):
Regular: 40 × $20 = $800
Overtime Rate: $20 × 1.5 = $30/hr
Overtime: 10 × $30 = $300
Total: $800 + $300 = $1,100
Frequently Asked Questions
When am I eligible for overtime pay?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular rate. Exempt employees (typically salaried professionals earning above $684/week) are not eligible.
Is overtime calculated daily or weekly?
Under federal FLSA rules, overtime is calculated weekly (over 40 hours per workweek). However, some states like California require daily overtime (over 8 hours per day). Check your state's labor laws for specific requirements.
