Frequently Asked Questions
What is time and a half?+
Time and a half means overtime hours are paid at 1.5× your regular hourly rate. If you earn $20/hour, each overtime hour pays $30. It is the standard overtime rate under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for hours beyond 40 in a workweek.
How is overtime pay calculated?+
Overtime pay = overtime hours × regular rate × multiplier. Total paycheck = (regular hours × rate) + overtime pay. The calculator shows each piece separately so you can check a payslip line by line.
What is double time?+
Double time pays 2× the regular rate. Federal law does not require it, but some states (like California, for hours past 12 in a day) and many union contracts do. Use the double-time row if it applies to you.
Who is entitled to overtime in the US?+
Most hourly (non-exempt) employees must receive at least 1.5× pay for hours over 40 per workweek under the FLSA. Salaried employees can also be non-exempt depending on duties and salary level — check your state rules, which may be stricter.
Does this calculator handle taxes?+
No — results are gross pay before taxes and deductions. Overtime is taxed as ordinary income; a bigger paycheck may have more withholding, but overtime is not taxed at a special higher rate.
