| Regular hourly rate | Time and a half rate (1.5×) | 5 OT hours | 10 OT hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $22.50 | $112.50 | $225.00 |
| $18.00 | $27.00 | $135.00 | $270.00 |
| $22.00 | $33.00 | $165.00 | $330.00 |
| $28.00 | $42.00 | $210.00 | $420.00 |
| $35.00 | $52.50 | $262.50 | $525.00 |
| $50.00 | $75.00 | $375.00 | $750.00 |
Formula: OT pay = Hourly rate × 1.5 × OT hours
To find your total weekly pay with overtime, add regular pay plus overtime pay: (40 × rate) + (OT hours × rate × 1.5) = Total gross pay.
Time and a half means your pay rate is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. If you earn $20/hr, your overtime rate is $30/hr.
US federal law (FLSA) requires time and a half for hours worked over 40 in a workweek for most employees. Some states require daily overtime.
Time and a half (1.5×) is the standard overtime rate. Double time (2×) is sometimes paid for holidays or excessive hours and is required in some states like California for hours over 12 in a day.
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5 to get the overtime rate. Then multiply by overtime hours worked. Example: $18/hr × 1.5 = $27/hr. 5 hours × $27 = $135 in overtime pay.
Only if you are a salaried non-exempt employee earning under $684/week. Most salaried workers above this threshold are classified as exempt and do not receive overtime.
