Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard overtime rate?
The standard overtime rate is typically time-and-a-half (1.5x) your regular hourly pay for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek, though this may vary by location and company policy.
How does the overtime calculator work?
You input your regular hourly rate, regular hours worked, and overtime hours. The calculator multiplies your overtime hours by 1.5x (or your custom rate) and adds it to your regular pay for the total sum.
What is double time?
Double time is twice your regular hourly rate (2.0x). It is often paid for working on holidays, Sundays, or for extra hours exceeding a certain daily threshold, depending on state laws.
Can I adjust the overtime multiplier?
Yes, our calculator allows you to customize both the overtime multiplier and the double-time multiplier to fit your specific employment contract.
Is salaried overtime calculated differently from hourly?
Yes. For non-exempt salaried employees, the regular hourly rate is usually determined by dividing the weekly salary by the number of hours it is intended to cover, then calculating overtime based on that rate.
Does this tool work for bi-weekly pay periods?
Yes, you can simply enter your total hours and total overtime hours for the bi-weekly period to calculate your total gross pay.
Are taxes included in this calculation?
No, this calculator determines your gross pay before taxes and other payroll deductions.
Is there a limit on how many overtime hours I can log?
There is no built-in tool limit, but labor laws have safety boundaries regarding maximum consecutive work hours.
How can I export my overtime calculation?
After generating your result, you can click the 'Export PNG' or 'Export PDF' button on the result card to save a formatted document for your records.
