Gross pay before taxes. Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) are deducted from take-home.
| Rule | Threshold | Rate | Who it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal (FLSA) | Over 40 hrs/week | 1.5× | Most non-exempt hourly workers |
| California — daily | Over 8 hrs/day | 1.5× | All non-exempt CA employees |
| California — extended | Over 12 hrs/day | 2× | All non-exempt CA employees |
| California — 7th day | 7th consecutive day | 1.5× then 2× | First 8 hrs at 1.5×, over 8 at 2× |
| Alaska | Over 8 hrs/day or 40 hrs/week | 1.5× | Non-exempt AK employees |
| Nevada | Over 8 hrs/day (if rate <1.5× min wage) | 1.5× | Qualifying NV employees |
Multiply your hourly rate × 1.5 to get the overtime rate. Multiply that by overtime hours worked. Add to your regular pay. Example: $18/hr × 40 hrs = $720 regular + ($18 × 1.5 × 8 hrs) = $216 OT = $936 total gross.
Federally, after 40 hours in a workweek. California, Alaska, and Nevada also trigger overtime after 8 hours in a single day. Check your state's labor department website for the exact rule in your state.
Double time is 2× your regular hourly rate. Required in California for hours over 12 in a day, or on the 7th consecutive workday. If you earn $20/hr, double time is $40/hr. Outside California it's voluntary — check your employer policy.
Before taxes. This calculator shows gross pay. Your take-home will be lower after federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) withholding.
Only if classified as non-exempt. Salaried workers earning under $684/week ($35,568/year) are generally entitled to overtime. Above that level, it depends on your job duties — executive, administrative, and professional roles are often exempt.
Generally no. The FLSA calculates overtime on a weekly basis. Bi-weekly payroll doesn't change the rule. The only exception is a narrow one for certain healthcare workers under a 14-day work period agreement.
It can push some earnings into a higher bracket, but only the amount over the threshold gets taxed at the higher rate — not your entire income. Your effective tax rate increases gradually, not all at once.
Not automatically under federal law. Overtime is based on total hours worked in the workweek, regardless of which days. Holiday pay is set by your employer's policy or your employment contract.
