How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
Delaware tax in these results: 7 brackets (table below) walked over gross pay, with no Delaware 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
Delaware overtime facts: Minimum wage $15.00/hr | Tipped cash wage before tips $2.23/hr | State tax up to 6.6% | Median household income $87,534.
Example Calculation
A Delaware 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.
Delaware tax on the overtime: the overtime sits between $41,600 and $57,200 of yearly pay, all inside Delaware's 5.55% bracket, so 5.55% × $15,600 = $866 (5.55% of it, against 4.62% of base pay). Federal income tax adds $1,872 and FICA $1,193.
Result: You keep $11,669 of the $15,600 (74.8%).

Our editorial standardsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the overtime rate in Delaware?
At least $22.50/hr at Delaware's $15.00 wage floor: 1.5 × the regular rate for an FLSA-covered, non-exempt worker's hours over 40 in a workweek. Source of the $15.00/hr floor: Delaware minimum wage law, via U.S. DOL WHD Consolidated State Minimum Wage Table.
Is overtime taxed differently in Delaware?
No separate overtime rate applies: overtime is wages, taxed with the rest of your pay. Because Delaware's brackets are progressive, overtime is taxed at the highest Delaware bracket your yearly pay reaches (5.55% at this page's default). For 2025-2028, eligible workers can deduct the overtime premium on their federal return (26 U.S.C. §225); the No Tax on Overtime Deduction Calculator estimates it.
