How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
Colorado tax in these results: a flat 4.4% of gross pay, with no Colorado deduction, exemption or credit subtracted. Federal income tax (single filer, 2026), 6.2% Social Security and 1.45% Medicare apply to the same annual gross; the §225 overtime-premium deduction is not applied.
Key State Information
Colorado overtime facts: Minimum wage $15.16/hr | Tipped cash wage before tips $12.14/hr | State tax up to 4.4% | Median household income $97,113.
Example Calculation
A Colorado worker earning the $20.00/hr default works 10 overtime hours every week: $41,600 of base pay plus $15,600 of overtime (520 hours × $20.00 × 1.5), $57,200 a year.
Colorado tax on the overtime: Colorado's flat rate applies to every dollar, so 4.4% × $15,600 = $686 (4.40% of it, against 4.40% of base pay). Federal income tax adds $1,872 and FICA $1,193.
Result: You keep $11,848 of the $15,600 (75.9%).
