Time and a half means your overtime hourly rate is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. For example, if you earn $10/hr normally, your overtime rate would be $15/hr. This is the most common overtime multiplier required by labor laws in the United States for hours worked beyond 40 per week.
Multiply your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier to get your overtime hourly rate (e.g., $10 × 1.5 = $15/hr). Then multiply that rate by the number of overtime hours worked. Add this to your regular pay to get your total earnings for the period.
Your overtime pay rate is your regular hourly rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier your employer uses. The most common is 1.5 (time and a half), though some employers offer double time (×2) or triple time (×3) for holidays or special shifts. Check your employment contract or employee handbook for your specific multiplier.
First determine how many overtime hours you work per month. Multiply those hours by your overtime hourly rate (regular rate × multiplier). For example, 10 overtime hours at $15/hr (time and a half on $10 base) equals $150 in overtime pay per month. Our calculator handles all pay periods automatically.
The basic overtime formula is: Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Regular Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier). Your total pay is then: Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Regular Rate) + Overtime Pay. The standard overtime multiplier under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is 1.5 for hours over 40 per week.
Certain employees classified as 'exempt' under the FLSA are not entitled to overtime pay. These typically include executive, administrative, and professional employees who meet specific salary and duties tests, as well as some outside salespeople and certain computer professionals. Always consult your employer or an HR professional to confirm your status.
Most salaried employees classified as exempt do not receive overtime pay. However, salaried non-exempt employees — typically those earning below the FLSA salary threshold — are entitled to overtime for hours worked beyond 40 per week. The rules vary by country, state, and industry, so review your employment classification carefully.
It depends on your hourly rate and multiplier. At $15/hr base pay with a 1.5× multiplier, your overtime rate is $22.50/hr. Working 10 extra hours monthly earns you $225 in overtime pay. Use our calculator above to enter your specific figures and get an exact breakdown.
