FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is overtime pay?
Overtime pay is extra compensation required by law when a non-exempt employee works beyond a standard hours threshold — typically 40 hours per week under federal FLSA. The standard overtime rate is 1.5× (time and a half) the employee's regular hourly rate.
How is overtime calculated?
Under federal FLSA: OT Pay = (Hours over 40) × (Regular Rate × 1.5). Example: At $25/hr working 48 hours = 40 reg hrs ($1,000) + 8 OT hrs × $37.50 ($300) = $1,300 gross. Some states like California add daily overtime rules.
Who qualifies for overtime pay?
Most hourly workers qualify. Salaried employees earning under $43,888/year ($844/week) are also generally entitled to overtime as of July 2024. The threshold rises to $58,656 in January 2025. Exempt workers in executive, administrative, and professional roles do not get OT.
Is overtime taxed at a higher rate?
No — overtime income is taxed at the same marginal rate as regular income. There's no special 'overtime tax.' However, earning more in a week may push that paycheck into a higher withholding bracket, which is why your take-home OT may feel lower than expected.
Can salaried employees earn overtime?
Yes, many salaried employees qualify. If your salary is below the FLSA threshold ($43,888/year as of 2024) or your job duties don't meet the 'exempt' test, you must receive overtime for hours over 40. Enter your weekly salary in the calculator and we'll convert to your hourly rate automatically.
What's the difference between time and a half and double time?
Time and a half (1.5×) is the standard federal overtime rate. Double time (2×) is required only in specific situations — most notably California's rules for working over 12 hours in a day or after the 8th hour on the 7th consecutive workday. Most states don't legally mandate double time.
