Hourly to Salary with Overtime Calculator

Turn an hourly wage into an annual salary that includes overtime pay. Enter your hourly rate, regular and overtime hours per week, overtime multiplier, and weeks worked to get annual, monthly, and weekly gross pay.

Quick Facts

Formula
Annual = (rate × reg hrs + rate × OT mult. × OT hrs) × weeks
Regular and overtime weekly pay are added, then scaled by weeks worked per year.
Standard overtime rate
1.5x base pay (FLSA)
Under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, nonexempt employees earn time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a workweek.
Full-time baseline
2,080 hours/year
52 weeks × 40 hours is the standard full-time hour count used for annualizing pay.

How the Hourly to Salary with Overtime Calculator works

This tool converts an hourly wage into an annual salary, accounting for overtime hours paid at a higher rate. It splits weekly pay into a regular portion and an overtime portion, adds them together, and scales the result by the number of weeks you actually work in a year.

The formula

For an hourly rate R, regular hours per week Hreg, overtime hours per week Hot, an overtime multiplier M (typically 1.5 for time-and-a-half), and W weeks worked per year:

Weekly gross pay = R × Hreg + R × M × Hot

Annual salary = Weekly gross pay × W

Monthly salary is simply the annual figure divided by 12. All figures produced are gross pay — before federal and state income tax, FICA, or any deductions.

Worked example

Take an hourly rate of $25, 40 regular hours per week, 5 overtime hours per week at time-and-a-half (1.5x), worked 52 weeks a year. Regular weekly pay is $25 × 40 = $1,000. Overtime weekly pay is $25 × 1.5 × 5 = $187.50. Weekly gross pay is $1,187.50, so annual salary is $1,187.50 × 52 = $61,750, or about $5,145.83 per month. Overtime alone contributes $187.50 × 52 = $9,750 for the year — roughly 15.8% of total pay.

Overtime rules to know

  • Federal baseline (FLSA): nonexempt U.S. employees are entitled to at least 1.5x their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek.
  • State variations: some states set stricter rules — for example, California requires 1.5x for hours over 8 in a day and 2x for hours over 12 in a day, in addition to the weekly threshold.
  • Exempt employees: salaried employees who meet exemption tests (based on duties and minimum salary level) are generally not entitled to overtime pay at all, regardless of hours worked.
  • Straight time: some employers or contract types pay all hours, including extra hours, at the base rate (1x) — select that option if no overtime premium applies to you.

What this calculator does not do

This is a gross-pay estimator, not a paycheck calculator. It does not withhold federal or state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, or any benefit deductions, and it does not know whether you are classified as exempt or nonexempt under labor law. Use it to estimate annualized gross earnings from an hourly rate and expected overtime — confirm your actual overtime eligibility and rate with your employer or a labor-law resource.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is hourly pay converted to an annual salary with overtime?
Multiply your hourly rate by your regular weekly hours to get regular weekly pay, then multiply your hourly rate by your overtime multiplier and overtime hours to get overtime weekly pay. Add the two for weekly gross pay, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year to get annual salary: Annual = (rate × regular hours + rate × OT multiplier × OT hours) × weeks per year.
What overtime multiplier should I use?
1.5x (time-and-a-half) is the U.S. federal standard under the Fair Labor Standards Act for nonexempt employees working more than 40 hours in a workweek. Some states and union contracts pay 2x (double time) for hours beyond a higher daily or weekly threshold, or for holiday work. Check your employer's policy and applicable state law for your exact rate.
Why enter weeks worked per year instead of assuming 52?
Using fewer than 52 weeks accounts for unpaid time off, unpaid holidays, or seasonal work so the annual estimate better reflects actual pay. Full-time salaried estimates commonly use 52 weeks (2,080 hours at 40 hours/week), but hourly workers with unpaid gaps should lower this figure.
Does this calculator show take-home pay after taxes?
No. This calculator computes gross pay only — wages before federal and state income tax, FICA, and any deductions. Take-home pay depends on your filing status, withholding elections, benefits, and location, so it will be lower than the gross figures shown here.
