Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate overtime from my hourly wage?
Multiply the first 40 hours by your wage, then multiply hours over 40 by 1.5× your wage, and add. At $18/hour for 46 hours: 40 × $18 = $720, plus 6 × $27 = $162, total $882.
How much is overtime for $15 an hour?
Overtime (time and a half) for $15/hour is $22.50/hour. Each hour past 40 pays $22.50 instead of $15.
Is overtime based on 40 hours a week?
Under federal law, yes — overtime starts after 40 hours in a single workweek. A few states add a daily rule (e.g. California after 8 hours a day). Select your state to apply daily overtime.
Do lunch breaks count toward the 40 hours?
Unpaid meal breaks do not count as hours worked, so they do not push you toward overtime. Short paid rest breaks do count. Total only your actual worked hours here.
Does my hourly overtime rate change with a bonus?
Yes — a non-discretionary bonus raises your "regular rate" for the week, which raises the overtime rate. The main overtime calculator has a bonus field for this.
