How to use this calculator

  1. 1

    Enter your hourly rate

    Your normal (regular) hourly wage — for example $20.00.

  2. 2

    Enter your regular and overtime hours

    Regular hours are paid at your normal rate; overtime hours are the ones paid at time-and-a-half (usually hours past 40 in a week).

  3. 3

    Read your pay

    See regular pay, time-and-a-half pay, and total gross pay, with the 1.5× rate shown.

The shortcut: time and a half is your rate plus half your rate. For $24/hour, half is $12, so overtime is $36/hour. If your overtime might qualify for the new No Tax on Overtime deduction, only that extra "half" portion is deductible — this calculator shows it as the gap between your regular and overtime pay.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate time and a half?
Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 to get the overtime rate, then multiply by the number of overtime hours. For $18/hour: $18 × 1.5 = $27/hour; 10 overtime hours = $270 of overtime pay.
What is time and a half for $20 an hour?
Time and a half for $20/hour is $30/hour ($20 + half of $20). Each overtime hour pays $30 instead of $20 — an extra $10 per hour.
Is time and a half the same as overtime?
Time and a half (1.5×) is the standard federal overtime rate under the FLSA for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. "Overtime" can also include double time (2×) under some state laws or contracts, but the federal minimum is time and a half.
When am I entitled to time and a half?
Non-exempt employees earn time and a half for hours over 40 in a single workweek under federal law. Some states (like California) also require it after 8 hours in a day. Holidays and weekends are not automatically time and a half unless your employer or contract says so.
Does time and a half include bonuses?
It can. Non-discretionary bonuses and commissions must be folded into your "regular rate" before multiplying by 1.5, which raises your overtime rate. Use the overtime calculator with the bonus field to see the effect.
