Overtime Pay Calculator
An overtime pay calculator works out what you should earn in a week when you work more than 40 hours — applying the FLSA time-and-a-half rule, California and Nevada daily overtime and double-time, folding non-discretionary bonuses into your regular rate, and checking your pay against the current $684/week exemption threshold. It uses official US Department of Labor figures and runs entirely in your browser.
Your normal pay per hour, before overtime. Numbers only.
Included in the regular rate, per FLSA rules. 0 if none.
Total this week: 40 hours across 5 days.

Salary-threshold check
This week’s pay ($880.00) is at or above the $684/week salary threshold — an exempt salaried employee meeting the duties test would not be owed overtime.

How it works
- 01
Enter your rate and daily hours
Your normal hourly rate and the hours you worked on each day of the workweek. Add any non-discretionary bonus — the law folds it into your regular rate.
- 02
Pick the rules that apply to you
Federal FLSA pays 1.5× after 40 hours a week. California and Nevada add daily overtime (1.5× after 8 hours) and, in California, double time after 12 hours or on the 7th straight day.

See the honest breakdown
Straight time, time-and-a-half and double-time hours are shown separately with the premium they add, plus a check against the salary threshold that decides whether you can be treated as exempt.
Estimates based on federal FLSA rules and the California and Nevada daily-overtime standards. This is not legal advice and does not cover industry-specific exemptions, union contracts, compacted-workweek schedules, or states with their own rules (for example Alaska, Colorado or Oregon). Minimum wage, tips and unpaid meal breaks are not modelled. Confirm your situation with your state labor agency or the DOL Wage and Hour Division.
Frequently asked questions
How is overtime pay calculated?
Under the US federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. The “regular rate” is not just base pay — it also includes non-discretionary bonuses and shift differentials, divided across total hours. This calculator applies that definition automatically.
Is overtime 1.5 times after 8 hours or after 40 hours?
It depends on your state. Federal law only counts hours over 40 in a workweek at 1.5×. California and Nevada also require 1.5× for hours over 8 in a single day, and California requires double time after 12 hours in a day and on the 7th consecutive day of work. Where both apply, daily and weekly overtime do not stack — you are paid the most generous applicable rate for each hour.
What is the salary threshold for overtime exemption?
To be treated as an exempt executive, administrative or professional employee under federal law, a worker must currently be paid at least $684 per week — the equivalent of $35,568 a year — and satisfy a duties test. The 2024 rule that would have raised this was vacated, so $684/week is the restored figure this calculator checks against. Highly compensated employees use a $107,432 annual threshold.
Do bonuses count toward my overtime rate?
Non-discretionary bonuses — those announced in advance to induce or reward work — must be included in your regular rate. The bonus is spread across the hours it was earned for, and overtime is recalculated on the higher rate. Discretionary gifts and bonuses truly at the employer’s discretion are excluded.
Is time-and-a-half automatic on weekends or nights?
No. Under federal law, premium pay for weekends, holidays or night shifts is not required — overtime is triggered purely by hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states, collective-bargaining agreements or employer policies do add those premiums; the calculator models the statutory floor and lets you flag an employer double-time policy.
Are these overtime rules up to date?
They were read from the US Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and last verified on the date shown under the calculator. Overtime rules vary by state, city and industry and the salary threshold has changed through litigation, so confirm against your state labor agency before relying on an exact figure.
Does this tool send my numbers anywhere?
No. Everything is calculated in your browser. Your hours, rate and bonus never leave your device — there is no account, no upload and no server call.
