How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
Overtime pay calculation for Georgia. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5x their regular rate for hours worked over 40/week. The current federal executive, administrative, and professional exemption salary level is $684/week ($35,568/year), and the highly compensated employee threshold is $107,432/year (restored by 91 FR 27833 effective 2026-05-15). Salary level alone does not establish exemption: the applicable duties test still matters. The salary requirements do not apply to licensed doctors or lawyers actually practicing, teachers, or outside-sales employees; certain computer employees can instead qualify at $27.63/hour. State law may provide additional protections. Georgia state minimum wage is $7.25/hr. Net pay accounts for federal income tax (estimated), Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and Georgia's flat 4.99% state income tax. It does not apply the temporary 26 U.S.C. §225 deduction for qualified FLSA overtime premiums available in tax years 2025-2028.

Example Calculation
Let's calculate overtime earnings for a warehouse worker in Georgia.
Regular hourly rate: $22/hour. This week: 45 hours worked (40 regular + 5 overtime). Regular pay: 40 × $22 = $880. Overtime pay: 5 × $33 (1.5×) = $165. Gross weekly pay: $1,045. Annualized with consistent overtime: $54,340/year.
Result: Weekly gross: $1,045 ($880 regular + $165 overtime). The calculator estimates withholding from gross wages; it does not apply the temporary 26 U.S.C. §225 deduction available for tax years 2025-2028. Eligible workers may deduct only the FLSA-required overtime premium — not the full overtime paycheck — subject to the $12,500 single/$25,000 joint caps and MAGI phase-out. FICA and applicable state taxes still apply.

Is overtime taxed differently in Georgia?
Overtime is wage income subject to normal withholding and FICA.
