About this tool

Federal law under the Fair Labor Standards Act requires time and a half for hours beyond 40 in a workweek for most nonexempt employees, and this calculator prices that rule against your own schedule. Enter your hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, and a multiplier of 1.5, 2, or 1.25 for whatever your contract or state provides. The result separates regular pay from the overtime premium, then totals the week and projects it across 52 weeks so you can see the annual effect of a heavy schedule. A few dollars of premium compounds quickly: six extra hours a week at time and a half can add thousands over a year. Treat the annual figure as a steady-state projection, since sick days, seasonality, and scheduling changes will move the real number. Educational estimate; federal and state overtime rules, exemptions, and thresholds change and vary by jurisdiction.Some states add daily rules on top of the federal weekly threshold: California owes time and a half after eight hours in a day, and double time after twelve. Private employers generally may offer paid comp time only through negotiated agreements, since cash payment is the FLSA default. Verify which category your job falls into before relying on any projection.
