Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (typically 1.5x for time and a half). This amount is then multiplied by the number of overtime hours worked.
Regular pay is calculated by multiplying your regular hourly rate by the number of regular hours worked (typically up to 40 hours per week in the US).
Formula: Regular Pay = Regular Rate × Regular Hours
Overtime pay is calculated using your regular hourly rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5x), then multiplied by overtime hours.
Formula: Overtime Pay = Regular Rate × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours
Total pay is the sum of your regular pay and overtime pay. This represents your gross earnings before taxes and deductions.
Formula: Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay non-exempt employees overtime at 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond the standard workweek, typically 40 hours. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay non-exempt employees at least 1.5 times their regular rate for overtime hours.
Overtime is calculated by multiplying your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (typically 1.5 for time-and-a-half), then multiplying that amount by the number of overtime hours worked. For example, if your regular rate is $20/hour and you work 5 overtime hours: $20 × 1.5 × 5 = $150 overtime pay.
Time-and-a-half means you earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. Double time means you earn twice your regular hourly rate. While federal law typically requires only time-and-a-half for overtime, some states or employment contracts may require double time in certain circumstances, such as working on holidays or exceeding daily hour limits.
No, not all employees are eligible for overtime pay. Exempt employees, who typically hold executive, administrative, professional, or outside sales positions and meet specific salary requirements, are not entitled to overtime under the FLSA. Non-exempt employees must be paid overtime for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
Yes, overtime laws can vary by state. While the federal FLSA sets the baseline standard, some states have additional requirements. For example, California requires daily overtime (after 8 hours in a day) and double time (after 12 hours in a day), while most states follow only the weekly overtime standard (after 40 hours in a week).
