How the Overtime calculation works
Overtime pay = hourly rate x multiplier x overtime hours
Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states and contracts require more.
Frequently asked questions
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Only if they are classified as non-exempt. Exempt status depends on job duties and a minimum salary level set by federal and state rules.
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5 and by the overtime hours. At $20 an hour the overtime rate is $30, so a 45-hour week pays 40 x $20 plus 5 x $30, which is $950.
After how many hours do I get overtime?
Under US federal law, overtime is owed to eligible employees for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states go further: California, for example, also requires it after 8 hours in a day.
Is overtime taxed at a higher rate?
No. Overtime is taxed as ordinary income. A bigger paycheck can have more withheld, which makes it look as though the rate is higher. A temporary federal deduction for part of overtime pay applies from 2025 to 2028; check the IRS for the current rules.
