Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate overtime pay?
Multiply regular hours by your rate, multiply overtime hours by 1.5× your rate, then add them. For $25/hour and a 50-hour week: 40 × $25 = $1,000 regular, 10 × $37.50 = $375 overtime, $1,375 total.
How much is overtime for $25 an hour?
At $25/hour, overtime is $37.50/hour. Ten overtime hours add $375 on top of your regular pay.
Is overtime calculated before or after taxes?
Overtime pay is calculated on gross (pre-tax) wages — rate × hours. Taxes are withheld afterward from the combined paycheck. This calculator shows gross overtime pay; your take-home will be lower after withholding.
Does overtime pay count holidays or PTO?
No. Only hours actually worked count toward the 40-hour overtime trigger. Paid holidays, vacation and sick time are not "hours worked," so a week with 8 holiday hours and 36 worked hours has no federal overtime.
What if I have two different pay rates?
Your overtime rate is based on a weighted-average "regular rate" across both jobs/rates that week. Use the blended rate overtime calculator to handle multiple rates correctly.
