Frequently asked questions
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × multiplier. At $25/hour with 1.5x overtime, each OT hour pays $37.50. Ten hours of OT adds $375 to your regular $1,000 paycheck.
Under US federal law (FLSA), overtime kicks in after 40 hours per workweek for non-exempt employees at 1.5x the regular rate. Some states like California also require daily overtime after 8 hours.
Double time pays 2x your regular rate. It is less common than time-and-a-half and typically applies to holidays, 7th consecutive workday or hours beyond 12 in a day (California). Our calculator supports 1.5x, 2x and 2.5x multipliers.
It depends. Salaried employees earning under $35,568/year (2024 threshold) are generally eligible. Those above the threshold may be exempt if their duties meet executive, administrative or professional criteria.
Your effective rate is total pay divided by total hours. Working 50 hours at $25/hr (40 regular + 10 OT at 1.5x) gives $1,375 total ÷ 50 hours = $27.50 effective hourly rate.
