Salary Calculator With Overtime

Calculate gross pay including overtime. Enter your hourly rate, regular and overtime hours per week, and the overtime multiplier to see weekly and annual gross pay.

Quick Facts

Formula
OT pay = rate × multiplier × OT hours
Regular pay is rate × regular hours; total gross pay is the sum of both.
FLSA standard
1.5x pay over 40 hours/week
Most U.S. nonexempt hourly employees earn time-and-a-half beyond 40 hours in a workweek; some states and contracts vary.

How the Salary Calculator With Overtime works

This tool computes gross pay for a workweek that includes overtime hours, then projects that weekly figure to an annual total. It uses the standard overtime formula applied by U.S. payroll systems for nonexempt hourly employees: regular hours are paid at the base hourly rate, and overtime hours are paid at a multiple of that rate.

The formula

For an hourly rate R, regular hours Hr, overtime hours Ho, and an overtime multiplier m (commonly 1.5):

Regular pay = R × Hr

Overtime pay = R × m × Ho

Total weekly gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay

To estimate annual gross pay, the weekly total is multiplied by the number of weeks worked per year (52 for a full year with no unpaid time off).

Worked example

Take an hourly rate of $25, with 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours in a week at the standard 1.5x multiplier. Regular pay is $25 × 40 = $1,000. Overtime pay is $25 × 1.5 × 5 = $187.50. Total weekly gross pay is $1,187.50, which projects to about $61,750 over 52 weeks.

What counts as overtime

Under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most nonexempt hourly employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Some states set a lower weekly threshold, add daily overtime after 8 hours in a day, or require double time (2x) after a set number of hours or on specific days — check your state's labor rules or your union contract for the exact multiplier and threshold that applies to you.

Gross pay versus take-home pay

This calculator reports gross pay — the amount before taxes and deductions. Take-home pay is lower after federal and state income tax withholding, FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%), and any benefit deductions such as health insurance or retirement contributions. Use the gross figures here as an input to a separate paycheck or tax calculator to estimate take-home pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is overtime pay calculated?
Overtime pay is the hourly rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier (typically 1.5 for time-and-a-half) and by the number of overtime hours worked: Overtime pay = hourly rate x multiplier x overtime hours. Regular pay is the hourly rate multiplied by regular hours. Total gross pay for the period is regular pay plus overtime pay.
What counts as overtime under the FLSA?
Under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, most nonexempt hourly employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Some states set a lower weekly threshold or add daily overtime rules, and double time (2x) may apply on specific holidays or after very long shifts under certain state laws or union contracts.
How do I estimate annual pay from a weekly total?
Multiply the total weekly gross pay (regular plus overtime) by the number of weeks worked per year, typically 52 for a full year or fewer if there is unpaid time off. This estimate assumes the same hours and overtime pattern repeat every week, so it is a projection rather than a guaranteed paycheck total.
Does this calculate take-home pay?
No. This calculator computes gross pay before taxes and deductions. Federal and state income tax withholding, FICA (Social Security and Medicare), and any benefit deductions are subtracted afterward by an employer's payroll system, so actual take-home pay will be lower than the gross figures shown here.
