🍩 Pay Breakdown

❓ What is Time and a Half?

Time and a half is a common overtime pay rate where eligible employees receive 1.5× their regular hourly wage for hours worked beyond the standard 40‑hour workweek. It is mandated by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for non‑exempt workers in the United States. Employers use time‑and‑a‑half to compensate fairly for extra work, discourage excessive overtime, and comply with labor laws. Our calculator lets you instantly compute overtime pay using any multiplier – from 1.25× up to 2× – with 100% accuracy.

🧮 How to Calculate Overtime Pay

1️⃣ Enter your hourly rate (e.g., $20).
2️⃣ Input regular hours (e.g., 8 for a day).
3️⃣ Enter overtime hours.
4️⃣ Choose your multiplier (1.5× is standard).
5️⃣ Select Daily/Weekly/Monthly and see monthly & yearly projections.

📐 Formula: Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × Multiplier)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

👥 Who is entitled to time and a half pay? ▼
Under the U.S. FLSA, non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay at 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Exempt employees typically do not qualify. Always check your state laws, as some states have more generous overtime rules.
💰 Is time and a half calculated before or after taxes? ▼
Time and a half is calculated on your gross pay — before any taxes or deductions. Our calculator shows your gross overtime earnings. Your actual take-home pay will be lower after taxes.
⚡ Double time vs time and a half – what's the difference? ▼
Time and a half = 1.5× your rate, double time = 2× your rate. Double time is often paid on holidays. You can select 2.0× in our multiplier dropdown.
👔 Does overtime apply to salaried employees? ▼
Most salaried "exempt" employees do not receive overtime. However, salaried workers below the FLSA threshold ($684/week) may still qualify. Many employers voluntarily offer overtime.
📅 How is monthly overtime calculated? ▼
Monthly overtime = weekly overtime × 4.33 (average weeks per month). Our calculator uses this standard multiplier when you switch to "Monthly" view.
