Overtime Pay & Wage Differential Calculator
Calculate gross weekly pay with 1.5× time-and-a-half and 2.0× double-time differentials.
Overtime is premium compensation for qualifying hours. Federal and state rules depend on employee coverage, exemption status, workweek, regular rate and jurisdiction.
- Key formula: FLSA mode places hours over 40 at 1.5×. California mode models daily, weekly and seventh-consecutive-day thresholds for a Monday–Sunday workweek.
Calculations stay local and are educational estimates, not payroll or legal advice.

Good questions. Clear answers.
When does federal time-and-a-half begin?
For most covered, nonexempt employees, the FLSA requires at least 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours actually worked in a fixed workweek. Exemptions and special rules apply.
How does California daily overtime work?
Generally, nonexempt employees receive 1.5 times the regular rate for hours over eight through twelve in a workday and double time after twelve, with additional weekly and seventh-day rules.
Is base hourly pay always the regular rate?
Not necessarily. Nondiscretionary bonuses, commissions and other remuneration can affect the regular rate. This simplified calculator assumes the entered hourly rate is the applicable regular rate.
